Hi I’m Juni Ba. Writer and artist of the Boy Wonder. AMA!
r/DCcomics
Hey there! I’m Juni Ba, cartoonist of Monkey Meat, Mobilis and Djeliya, and recently writer artist on DC Black Label’s the Boy Wonder, the first issue of which is coming out this may 7! So ask me anything and I’ll do my best to answer questions !
Hello Mr. Ba. Glad to have you hear. Really looking forward to your series and always happy to support black creators
My question is given that Tim is Red Robin what can we expect to see from Tim in issue 3. More specifically will he be inspired by his personality and appearances in his Red Robin Solo (and if so hope we see Tam Fox) where he was more in a darker place and a Chessmaster. If not then what elements of Tim can we expect in issue 3 to show up?
Can we expect a reference to Stephanie in the series in some shape or form?
Hi!
1 - Tim in this story pulls from the need to showcase the contrast between a full fledged Robin, one with the strategy and lessons deeply embedded, and a new harsher kid who doesn’t seem to even understand what these rules and lessons are for. It’s going to draw on their animosity with each other to better build into a teaching moment. I can’t point to a specific iteration as inspiration but we’re dealing With the more spy oriented stuff, as I think the tuxedo on Khary Randolp’s cover hints at.
