Joe Grunenwald: How did you come to be involved with Norse Mythology ? It’s an ambitious project, and The Beat was happy to have the opportunity to chat with Russell about how he came on to the project (they didn’t have to twist his arm), how he approaches translating prose for comics, and what he thinks makes Neil Gaiman’s work so adaptable. The first two issues alone of the 18-issue series features work by Russell, Mike Mignola, and Jerry Ordway. He wrote and illustrated adaptations of Coraline, Sandman: The Dream Hunters, and Murder Mysteries, and more recently he wrote and artist Scott Hampton illustrated Dark Horse‘s three-volume adaptation of American Gods.įor Dark Horse’s latest Gaiman adaptation, Norse Mythology, the multiple Eisner-winning Russell is back at the helm, and teamed with a murderer’s row of artistic talent. In addition to having worked with Gaiman directly, Russell has also adapted multiple prose works by the writer into comics. Craig Russell is no stranger to interpreting the work of writer Neil Gaiman.
