Thomas Sniegoski and Jeannine Acheson Interview - Nothing Can Stop The Ape
from Cryptid Creator Corner from Comic Book Yeti - A Comic Book Interview Podcast · host Cryptid Creator Corner | The Geek Collective
The dynamic comics writing duo of Jeannine Acheson and Thomas Sniegoski return to the show to chat with Byron about their highly anticipated new middle-grade graphic novel project Nothing Can Stop The Ape from Papercutz. Tom reveals the original concept three decades in the making, a project which initially struggled to find its footing as an adult oriented book but with Jeannine's help eventually found its place in the middle-grade market embracing a nostalgic Hanna Barbera filter celebrating the cartoons we all grew up loving. We discuss their ever evolving collaborative partnership; finding the balance of writing to a middle-grade audience; how the rest of the creative team of Craig Russo, Tom Gaadt, and Taylor Esposito helped bring their world to vibrant life; and touch upon their new projects including expanding Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal into other mediums. Tom's website Jeannine's website From the publisher A raucous tale in the tradition of the classic saturday morning cartoons— Jonny Quest, The Herculoids, Space Ghost, and The Mighty Mightor— Nothing Can Stop...The Ape! This mini-series tells the story of Maxwell Morgan, a twelve-year-old boy who will go to any lengths to save his mom (who has been possessed by the spirit of Thuuna, an angry primordial goddess), even going as far as freeing the goddess's immortal enemy from his magical prison. With his faithful french bulldog and four primitive cave people gifted with the powers of the elements, Maxwell must convince the newly-released gorilla god of chaos, Ghraagg'endah, to help them save the world from Thuuna's genocidal intentions and free his mother from the goddess's clutches. Paying homage to the Hanna-Barbera animated shows of the late sixties, Nothing Can Stop. . . The Ape! is a story for all ages. So pour yourself a bowl of cereal, and strap yourself in for a non-stop, pulse-pounding thrill ride of epic proportions because nothing can stop . . . The Ape!
