I interviewed writer John Ostrander for a piece on the dark humor anthology comic, Wasteland, over at The Factual Opinion. In the article, Ostrander talks about his involvement in the title, as well as his working relationship with Wasteland co-writer, the late Del Close. It’s a comic series I always return to, as it features the work of some of my favorite creators, but the most recent — and most important — detail I’ve discovered was how deeply connected Wasteland is to the art of Improv. That would make perfect sense to anyone familiar with the work of Del Close, but Ostrander shed some light on just how defined that writing dynamic was. Read the interview, then find out for yourselves how great these comics really are.
