Allen Wu talks Shentu

I learn so much from every comic creator that comes on the Cryptid Creator Corner, whether they've been making comics for decades or they've just made one of their first comics, like today's guest: Allen Wu. Allen comes on the Cryptid Creator Corner to chat about SHENTU, which you can get here: https://thcomics.myshopify.com/ 

SHENTU is about an immortal rabbit girl who journeys through Ancient China healing those she meets and desperately trying to recreate the elixir of life. Allen talks about how he originally contemplated this as an animated series, but pivoted to create a comic along with artist Davi Hallyson and letterer Tom Lynott. Allen talks about the different scripting processes he went through and how he became hooked on comics once Davi's artwork started to hit his inbox. 

Allen plans on taking a SHENTU anthology to Kickstarter in a few months. You can sign up to be notified about SHENTU: Memories of Spring here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/allenyorkwu/shentu-memories-of-spring
