Nicola Scott is the incredible artist who works on Iconic characters such as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. She also worked with Kelly Sue DeConnick on Vol.3 of the Eisner Awarding winning series Wonder Woman HISTORIA. In addition she collaborates with my dear friend Greg Rucka on Black Magick. You’ve heard of that guy right? If not there are about 55 episodes to check out!
It was fascinating to hear Nicola do a deep dive on Wonder Woman Historia. I could have continued listening for hours on the education of the mythos and the intent behind the story. SPOLIER ALERT: We go into a lot of detail about the 3 volumes, so if you haven’t read it yet…get on it! It is incredible.
In addition to Wonder Woman Historia, Nicola discusses her artistic process. I am amazed at the amount of gravity and energy behind everything she does.
If you haven’t seen Nicola’s work, you can check out Wonder Woman Historia, Black Magick or her ongoing DC monthly Titans.
