Deathstroke and Feral with Tony Fleecs

About this episode

John Siuntres interviews Tony Fleecs about his work in horror comics and his current run on Deathstroke.

Today on Word Balloon, we're talking with one of comics' most versatile storytellers, Tony Fleecs.Tony first grabbed readers' attention with his creator-owned work, helping redefine horror comics with the Image hit Stray Dogs, the chilling tale that mixed Disney-style visuals with a dark serial killer story. He followed that with Feral, another unsettling animal-centered horror series that's been turning heads and proving he has a real talent for finding fresh angles in the genre. But Tony's talents go well beyond creator-owned comics. He's also brought his storytelling skills to some of the biggest characters in comics, including a current run writing Deathstroke for DC Comics, tackling one of the publisher's most dangerous and morally complex antiheroes.
