Off Panel #384: Three Bears with Rob Guillory

Writer/artist Rob Guillory guests this week, as we chat about his shifting approach and newly launched BOOM! series Mosely. Guillory discusses his many hats as a creator, what he’s learned from recent projects, how he’s pushing his career, adding writing to the mix, Farmhand’s evolution, how autobiographical his work has become, Mosely’s origins, the visuals of the book, tech commentary, the importance of family in his stories, his publishing partners, how his view of his work and career has shifted, and more.

You can find Guillory’s work in Mosely at BOOM! and Farmhand at Image.

Off Panel’s opening theme music is Vulfpeck’s “Outro,” used with permission from the band (and thanks for me for them doing so!), with the rest of the music being an original track by custom music agency Upright T-Rex Music, written and performed specifically for the podcast. A huge thanks to Ross and Cody from Upright T-Rex Music for putting the track together!
