Harrow County

Since then, he has contributed art to multiple series within the Magnoliverse and Black Hammer universe.

Three of his creator-owned series, Harrow County, The Stone King, and Out of Alcatraz, have been nominated for Eisner Awards.

Harrow County has won two Gastly Awards and a Bram Stoker Award.

Tyler's comics are notable for their lush traditional watercolor and ink rendering and emotive character work.

He is the artist of Archie and Hell from Oni Press.

And have some sort of cool hook to it that is like you've never seen it, that you've, you're dying as a gamer to play with it.

You're like, "Well, how does that work?" Like in Harrow County, we have a cube tower built right into the box.

So there's literally a hole in the front of the box and the top of the box where you drop cubes in, and that randomizes our combat.

Oh, wow.

Got it

... to make sure the com- and ship the comics to all these different places 'cause they're printing at a different factory and so, or it's already printed or whatever.

So it's, it's n- we've ne- the only one we were able to do it was with, uh, Harrow County, and it's because they offered us download codes and so people could download it, and that was kinda nice.

Oh, that's smart.

Yeah.

Speaking of, you know, for 31 Nights of Halloween or whatever, Days of Halloween on AIPT, I feel like I wanna write an article about, uh, Harrow County.

Hmm.

That great Cullen Bunn horror series, which also-

The book that got me into horror comics in general.

I've talked about it in the past, but that's Harrow County.

It's going to be Cullen Bunn alongside Tyler Crook.

And the art is incredible.

He's turned into kind of a mentor and a friend.

And when he was able to give a poll quote, that really meant a lot to me because Harrow County is huge for me.

I think another underrated one written by him is Blood Feud.

I read anything he puts out.

Two series so far, a third one coming from IDW.

And Tyler Crook, you know, did Harrow County, and he did the recent Eisner-nominated Out of Alcatraz series.

Often

listed as one of my all-time favorite artists.

because of the birthday situation probably yeah probably yeah How has working in Riverdale affected working in other realms, other comic books? Like how has Archie and hell or how will Archie and hell inform your work elsewhere?

Well, one thing I'll say is that like, there's a lot of projects that I've worked on in the past where I'll get the script.

And even, even Harrow County was like this a lot where I would get the script and I would read it and I'd be like, okay i get it and i would do it and then i get the next script and with this one i've been making a point to like check in with patrick and have a like a conversation before i really get started on it and that's something that i'm trying to like continue on like there's another project that i'm that i'm writing for another artist right now and i've been trying to get on the phone with her and talk it over before i start writing the next script

so

Yeah, trees are very – I don't know quite how to explain it.

I think a lot of it comes from – Uh, like, cause I, like I did the book Harrow County with Colin Bunn.

And when, when he first proposed that to me, it was like right after I had moved to Oregon from San Diego.

So I went basically from the desert to this lush rainforest.

And...

this harrow county it's it's like a horror one really fucking good when she walked in there with this in her hand she was like holding it just like this just like wrapped up and she held it out and he's like oh

you already signed that too and he's like yeah he's like his new face lit up he's even got his

little signature right there and stuff so yeah he was just so excited and yeah it they're both phenomenal freaking phenomenal comics i really like the harrow county one um that one's really good But what I've been doing, oh my god, mostly fucking work.

and reading up on a certain book series for preparation for season six, and it's sucking.

Oh, it sucks.

And so it's it's just crazy to me to like have, you know, the opportunity to work with folks whose work you admire on Archie or Archie and how I'm working with Tyler Crook, Tyler Crook.

I've been a huge fan since Harrow County.

And I think that, you know, it's It's just like, I send off a script and I get his art deck.

It's like, that's wild! And you're the first one,
