[quote=“Black”]God is dead and Lucifer has to figure out who killed Him. I was inspired by Lucifer’s piano bar in Los Angeles, a noir setting if there ever was one, to tell this story about coming back to the place where you began.
I think all stories about the angels and devils are family stories — Heaven and Hell populated by one enormous and enormously dysfunctional family. It’s also a dynastic story, about kings and princes, rebellions and thrones. But imposing a noir structure — starring the most disillusioned detective possible and in the most corrupt setting — allowed me to approach it in a new way.[/quote]
[quote=“Garbett”]We have scenes that go from the mundane to the insane in 5 panels and there’s a lot of humor in amongst the darkness, so that’s always something I love to draw.
Lucifer himself still has his constant air of elegance and haughtiness but no matter how stoic, he’s always fascinating and I like to try and use the odd line, here and there, to give glimpses of vulnerability or uncertainty etc. Despite his best efforts to appear completely in control, there’s a lot going on, under the surface. That’s the stuff I really enjoy drawing.
That and demons. And cat-ladies. And demon cat-ladies.[/quote]
