Episode 130: Peter Snejbjerg

André (At least his zoom) heads to Denmark to chat with an amazing creator who helped to build many innovative and compelling books in an era of shifting and more adult themes in the industry.

Peter Snejbjerg is a Danish comic book artist. In his long and varied career, Snejbjerg established himself as a prolific artist for DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint working with bestselling writers such as Neil Gaiman and Garth Ennis, before moving on to DC Universe titles like Starman and JSA, and horror titles including the Hellboy-spinoff, BPRD for Dark Horse. Together with Peter J. Tomasi, he created the supernatural war story The Light Brigade. Snejbjerg has also illustrated a number of children’s books showcasing his trademark blend of dark humor and horror.

Peter and André talk about the comedic genius of Will Eisner, Danish films and how DC came calling to the rest of Europe after they plundered the artistic pool of the United Kingdom.
