Monty Nero reflects on creative experiences in Canada

Welcome to the True North Country Comics Podcast — dedicated to celebrate Canadian comic book and graphic novel creators and supporters.

On this episode, I chat with Monty Nero about the hard cover edition of Death Sentence from Titan Comics, working in Vancouver and more.

Based in Scotland, Monty Nero is a writer and artist published by Marvel (X-men and Hulk) Titan Publishing, Delcourt, DC and 2000ad. He has also self published three popular books in his Death Sentence series, and eighteen top selling comics, since 2010. His artwork, words or character concepts have enlivened games from Sony, Lego, Bethesda, and Electronic Arts during his temporary residence in Vancouver, British Columbia. His writing has been described as “easily the equal of Dostoyevsky or Dickens” (Popmatters) and “work that ranks up there with greats such as Alan Moore and Warren Ellis.” (How to Love Comics).  Monty is the creator of the popular 70s 80s Kids UK Facebook group (300,000 strong), has published academic papers on comics and pop culture, and was awarded a masters with distinction from Dundee University where he won an academic prize. His latest project is the hard cover collection of Death Sentence.

Death Sentence is the story of “three people who’ve contracted the G+ Virus, an infectious agent that gives you incredible powers – before killing you! What will struggling graphic designer Verity, failing indie guitarist Weasel and roguish media personality Monty do in the time that remains? Fade away – or go out in a blaze of glory?  And if they choose to kick back… will there be anything left of the world when they’re through? From the streets of London to the North Atlantic, from intimate betrayals to the death of thousands, from muses lost and futures thrown away to the fall of society.”
