Greg Chapman in the papers for his WITCH HUNTS talk!
Witch Hunts artist Greg Chapman is giving a talk at the Rockhampton Regional Library on June 2nd, and the local paper gave him this nice write-up HERE
“With inspiration drawn from artists Brian Bolland, Bill Sienkiewicz, Frank Miller, John J Muth, Mike Mignola, Dave McKean and Bernie Wrightson, Greg has illustrated a compelling graphic novel tracing the fictional account of the history of the witchcraft persecutions that plagued Europe and the Americas for hundreds of years.
The 185 page graphic novel looks at, amongst other things, the origins of the craze; how the Malleus Maleficarium was created and was used as a torture guide book; how the Church of the time endorsed Inquisitions and people used the craze for their own personal gain.
Meticulously researched in terms of the history of witchcraft and torture, Greg has taken fourteen months to create the artwork for the book. A process he thoroughly enjoyed.”
Way to go, Greg!
WITCH HUNTS: A GRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE BURNING TIMES
We’re excited about the forthcoming release of our non-fiction graphic novel (yes, we know that sounds like an oxymoron) Witch Hunts: A Graphic History of the Burning Times, and we’ll be using this site to post tantalizing excerpts, essays about the creation of this unique book, and (as they start to appear) reviews and other mentions of the book. We hope you’ll enjoy both the book and this site. – Rocky, Lisa and Greg
