Is there any truth to the suggestion that some comic creators make books primarily with the intention of the project getting optioned for film/tv, then dropping the book prematurely when it doesn’t garner the desired interest?

Also, should comic artists use the likeness of celebrities in their work without consent/credit?

Hey guys!

John, you’ve always maintained SINK is a crime series. With this latest volume you seem to be really leaning into your horror sensibilities, was this a conscious decision to take the title down a darker, more supernatural path?

Also, how much of your characters/storylines are adapted from local folklore? I’m aware of the Gorbals Vampire (which I would encourage everyone to Google!), but how about Bonnie Shaw, or the Blue Van? Do these have any basis in local legend?
