Scud's Creator Gets Down And Dirty
My love for Scud: The Disposable Assassin is well-documented. I know, I know, I'm weak... but there's something just so damn appealing about that lovable robotic scamp and his gun-totin' ways.
Over at Comic Book Resources, creator Rob Schrab sat down and discussed the evolution of the comic, what led to its decade-long hiatus, and, ultimately, why he's come back to the comic world:
The series came to an abrupt halt, but not to an end. The last issue was published in 1998 and ended on a cliffhanger. The next issue and resolution to the story never came. “I lost my mind,” answered Schrab when asked what happened. “No. Seriously, Hollywood came a’ calling. Dan Harmon and I got a two-picture deal with Robert Zemeckis’ company (one of those was ‘Monster House’) and things kind of spun out from there. I was really burnt out on ‘Scud’ and comic publishing, too. It was a big dream of mine to work in movies so I boned out when I got the chance.”
The article's a fascinating read, particularly in regards to what Schrab's been doing in the meantime. Also, it's got some great-looking previews of the final issues' upcoming covers.
