Many Deaths of Laila Starr

Product Information

Death is bright into a human body, that of beautiful orphan Laila Starr. Death happens to be reborn in her body after Starr had jumped to her death at a party, and she just so happens to inhabit Starr's body in the same hospital this annoying baby is born at. Marvel Comics Library: Spider-Man vol. 1: 1962–1964, by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, edidted by Steve Korté (TASCHEN) Esta cuestión me congracia todavía más con este cómic: no solo porque me recuerde a nuestra gótica favorita de Vértigo, sino porque su visión vitalista sobre el fin es más que necesaria en una sociedad a la que ya sea por la religión o por la cultura se nos ha enseñado a temerlo. Cada vez que muere, Laila se encuentra con el avatar de la vida. El poder de una historia Between Snow and Wolf, by Agnes Domergue and Helene Canac, translation by Maria Vahrenhorst (Magnetic)

I think I had come up with various versions of that story long before I even started writing comics, to be honest. There were early versions of short stories where it was “Krishna comes down to Earth!” and whatnot, but I suppose it really turned into Laila Starr when I had this kind of need to write about death, even as a teenager. And I always felt I couldn’t because I hadn’t experienced enough of it, if you will. There are always things you feel that way about, and you feel you’re not equipped to write them, and then BOOM! Studios editor Eric Harburn came to me and said, “You know you’ve done Grafity’s Wall. We want something similar to that, but wewant a bit more of a fantastical genre aspect to it.”Given music is so central to much of your work, what do you think about the comics-as-music school of thought? I remember issue 4, the issue with the Chinese immigrant in Mumbai, where did that come from for you? I don’t think that’s taught to a lot of people in history, I don’t think a lot of people are aware of it, but it’s super fascinating. So where did that come from, when did you know you had to put that in? Julian Totino Tedesco, Just Beyond: Monstrosity (BOOM!/KaBoom!); Dune: House Atreides (BOOM!

It makes no difference to me, I’m very good at ignoring the fandom part of it. Not that I condone ignoring readerships or anything of the sort. But necessarily I think, and I’ve had this discussion before with people who’ve taken umbrage to it, because fanfiction is a thing, and I’m not speaking against fanfiction when I say this: if you’re hired to write a character, you cannot approach it as a fan. Because you have to be willing to do things with those characters that push them into places they haven’t been before. And necessarily, the definition of a fan is someone who thinks what they’ve already read or consumed is the best version of that character, that’s why you’re a fan. In terms of art, it’s as colourful as India and the religion of Hinduism whilst having a warm and nice colour pallet, so that you can feel the heat of India and the emotions of the story. The art was really great.There are also interesting cultural elements that some readers like myself will be unfamiliar with, but are compelling and deeply meaningful. How crows serve as transport for souls, for instance, or how marigolds are used to honor the dead. These elements bleed into the supernatural elements well, particularly the ending reveals, and make this world feel tethered to reality yet otherworldly too.
