Wondermark: Our Interview with David Malki !

Today we're talking with David Malki ! (yes, the exclamation point is included), who is an author, creator of the webcomic Wondermark, editor of the anthology Machine of Death, and at the head of so many projects, frankly, I have a hard time keeping track. What I can tell you is he is definitely doing some unique work which I hope you'll dig as much I do.

Hi David, how are you doing?
Good. Thanks!

You write an online comic using Victorian wood cuts. Can you tell us a little bit about that and how you got started?
Sure. Wondermark is a comic strip that's made using illustrations from books from the 1800s that are all scans from primary sources whenever possible and then cut apart in Photoshop. And the elements used is sort of puzzle pieces and ingredients to make comic strips. And it's something I've been doing now for eight years, and it started sort of as a lark, sort of an experiment like, "I wonder if you could make a comic strip this way." And the answer turned out to be yes. So I kept doing it.
