Tyrant from Spiderbaby Grafix

TheNomadicCircle

I friend of mine recently bought this collection from a used store and let me borrow it for a few days. I've been reading it and its pretty good. I was just wondering if Steve Bissette continued this series or left it hanging? It would be a shame if he did so.

Q:Before we wrap things up, I would be remiss in speaking with you and not asking about "Tyrant." Based on the recent April Fools joke, in which you announced a movie deal for the book, it's obvious that many people are still interested in the series. Is there a chance of seeing a collection of the issues to date or new material any time soon?

A:I've not given up on "Tyrant," though it's been lying fallow for far too long. Self-publishing was no longer viable for me after the one-two punch of the 1996 Direct Market implosion, leaving Diamond a monopoly and sole distributor standing, and the divorce from my first wife Marlene, with whom I'm still a close friend.

All I'll say is I am pursuing a new avenue. I'm working with some great folks right now, and the hope is to find a new home for the project in the book industry. It may end up being a single volume, it may end up allowing me to continue "Tyrant" as I'd dreamed - only time will tell. I'd best say nothing more just now - wish us luck, is all.
