Writer and Artist Ángel Antón Svoboda went to the School of Art and Design in Spain, and later founded his own advertising studio, I am, I can where he currently serves as the Art Director. He always has a passion for comics since he was a child and has gone back into the comic book world with his current work on Arcane Secrets, which was reviewed here.
I really enjoyed his most recent work, Arcane Secrets which is written with the premise of “Cthulu for All Ages”. I’m personally excited for the next issue, as well as his next project which he’s currently working on. It will be different than what we saw with the comic book Arcane Secrets or what you can see on the website www.malacarajack.com where he writes about a western bandit more stupid than his horse. This new project will be focused on the narrative, exploring short dialogues, silences and the way of looking between the characters.
The following is the 20 Word Interview with Ángel. Thank you so much for your time and we look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
