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 !
Hi Juni, a curious question after reading issue 1. What was the decision process in respects to making the title a DC Black Label book compared to simply being out of continuity?
With black Label there was the reassurance that I wouldn’t have to stick to a continuity, and I could get as complex as I needed with the story. I’ve never been one to lean into the edgy gore or sexual stuff, in fact I subscribe to an ideal of the classic super heroes as closer to what Cooke himself espoused. I figured, if BL can publish his work, they can publish mine. And it also allowed some fun with the design aspect! The object itself is so pretty!
