Crackle is an anthology series created by writer Phillip Maira which is currently running a campaign on Kickstarter. Maira fell in love with comics during his college years and as his affection for the medium grew he decided to create his own stories. Taking the lead from books like Sandman, Preacher, and Y: The Last Man he eventually decided to take the plunge into making his own ideas a reality by writing his own short stories and recruiting various artists from around the globe to illustrate them. The result is a series of slice of life sequential art stories that are heartfelt, touching, and somewhat ethereal. This week Kristian chats with Phillip about his creative process, how he approaches his artists and assigns them a particular story, and why he felt an anthology book should be the first type of comics project with which he would debut his talents to the world.
