So, his enthusiasm and his adorably dorky excitement about all the little details he put in…I mean, it just changed everything. I love it too, I just don’t know it like he does. It was so obvious and he, far more than I do, loves and understands this whole DC world.
When came on board for real and I started seeing his illustrations, all my fears were erased, because I knew this was the real deal. So, I wrote up a script with an outline.įor a long time, the illustrator part was a mystery me, though I knew that our editor was looking for someone. I felt really really honored and really really scared. When they told me I had a chance to do Selina Kyle, my jaw dropped. Lauren Myracle: DC contacted me and said we have this opportunity for you, are you interested in writing a graphic novel? I said, ‘You guys are insane, I’ve never written a graphic novel before.’ They said that’s why they were coming to me, and they told me about the whole line and their initiative to bring new readers to graphic novels and comics and DC characters, by combining them with more traditional young adult authors, having a strong foundation of more traditional storytelling. These are characters I’ve loved since I was a kid, so the idea of contributing to that story and that history, that was very enticing. When they asked me if I was interested, the idea of working on these characters who had these stories and histories and lore for decades and decades back before my parents were even born was extremely exciting. Isaac Goodhart: DC reached out to me after Lauren had already completed here script, or at least was in the final stages of it, so everything was done, everything was set. Zack Quaintance: Can I start by asking what drew you to Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale as a project?
TW: References to abuse and self-harm follow.
Recently, the Beat spoke to Myracle and Goodhart about the title. An expressive and fearless new take on the characters, the story and its imagery doesn’t shy away from scenes of abuse or instances of self-harm. Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale is a coming-of-age tale that features Selina Kyle and Bruce Wayne navigating high school. No stranger to the medium or DC, Goodhart’s resume includes a lengthy run on the creator-owned comic Postal, as well as work in the publisher’s New Talent Showcase 2018. While Under the Moon marks Myracle’s first work in comics, joining her on the project is Isaac Goodhart. Typically a YA prose author, Myracle’s bibliography includes the best-selling Internet Girls novels. Ink is specifically aimed at young adult readers, and, fittingly, so too is Under the Moon. The original graphic novel is part of DC’s new Ink imprint, itself a part of an effort to expand the publisher’s audience. This week marked the release of Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale in comic shops, with a wider bookstore release set for May 7th.
