Fred Van Lente is one of the best writers working in comics today. Kristian discovered his work when Van Lente became one of the creators that Valiant Entertainment tapped to relaunch their line of comics back in 2012. He’s worked extensively for Marvel Comics through the years as well as continuing to work on his own creator owned projects. This week sees the launch of his latest book, Murder Kingdom, published by Mad Cave Studios. Murder Kingdom tells the tale of what happens when a serial killer decides to make a theme park the setting for a series of brutal murders based on Grimms’ Fairy Tales. This week on the Part-Time Fanboy podcast, Kristian chats with Fred about the inspiration behind his new horror series and why he thought a place where families make magical memories was the perfect setting for his splatter-filled story!
