In this story, the legendary rocker is up against the demonic forces of evil which can be invading all the pieces, together with his personal fanbase.
Barnes, author/producer of The Boondocks, My Wife and Kids, and Winning Time: The Story of the Los Angeles Lakers, chatted with The Beat forward of the comedian’s debut this fall.
Deanna Destito: Were you an Alice Cooper fan earlier than taking over this e book?
Rodney Barnes: I used to be! Loved the music and the horror-themed fashion. Alice hit my radar at simply the proper time to turn into a fixture in my music consumption.
Destito: Why is a persona like Cooper such an ideal protagonist for the comedian world?
Barnes: His larger-than-life persona! There are so many themes in his music and presentation that match completely in the world of comics.
Destito: What impressed this explicit story?
Barnes: Merging the worlds of music and style. Having Alice face Satan musically felt enjoyable to me. Truly hoping the followers take pleasure in the journey as nicely.
Destito: Do you strategy writing characters primarily based on actual folks in a different way than those that are utterly fictional?
Barnes: I attempt to incorporate points of the actual particular person into the fantasy creation then go from there. With Alice, it was simple as a result of of Neil Gaiman’s nice work in establishing a fantasy world previous to me leaping in.
Destito: How has it been working with Dynamite and this artistic crew?
Barnes: It’s been nice! I’ve performed Army of Darkness 1979 and James Bond: Himeros so it’s like working with household.
Destito: For readers who could not know something about Alice Cooper or who could also be hesitant to choose up a music/horror style e book. why is that this comedian one thing they could like?
Barnes: One phrase: Fun. There’s comedy, motion, and horror themes that don’t take themselves too severely. So it’s an awesome jumping-on-point for followers of both style.
Alice Cooper #1 is slated to launch on October 4, 2023.
