Mad Cave Studios has been putting out some fantastic comics as they celebrate their 10 year anniversary and today's guest's newest comic is no exception. Writer Ray Fawkes is here to chat about Sanction. This is the story of 2 very different detectives tasked with investigating a dead body in 1987 Leningrad. Ray talks about working with artist Antonio Fuso, why he wanted to set this story in the U.S.S.R. towards the closing of the Cold War, and what he hopes readers will take away from the differences between Pavel and Boris. This is an incredible first issue and I loved chatting comics with Ray. Issue #1 will be at your LCS on May 15th, but make sure to add it to your pull list now (this not only helps out you, but your LCS, and the creative team). Be sure to check out Ray's website too so you can check out some of his other work we discuss in the episode like One Soul, One Line, and The People Inside.
From the publisher:
Leningrad, 1987. When a woman’s corpse is discovered on New Year’s Day, a hungover Detective Pavel Smirnoff hands off the case to his partner, Detective Boris Dimitrovich, hoping he’ll close it without fuss. Instead, Dimitrovich uncovers a connection to an old, unsolved crime, dragging them both into an investigation that puts their careers – and possibly their lives – at risk.
