Interview with New Black Panther Penciler Will Conrad

Here’s a few excerpts:

“The Black Panther was one of the characters I loved to read as a teenager, but after I started working in comics, I kind of lost track of the character. He’s always interested me though. I like the visuals and the fact that he’s African,” Conrad told CBR News. “I know they made the Panther more serious and political oriented in recent years and I like the chance to work with characters that are more than just action. I believe there’s going to be a lot of politics and drama in these stories and I think that’s going to be great to work with.”

“Black Panther” is a series starring a costumed hero, but the unique nature of the Panther as ruler and spiritual protector of an entire country means the book can go anywhere and tackle almost any genre. It’s that quality that makes the series especially compelling for Conrad. “It’s challenging and I always like to be challenged. I think the only way we can improve is to try and get challenges, where you have to improve and go farther,” Conrad said. “So I think working on this series is great because I have the chance to do a lot of stuff; some of it I’m very used to and some of it is new to me. That’s going to allow me to keep improving and challenging myself.”
