This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes Jordan Hart and David Ebeltoft to the program to discuss their comic book series The Cabinet and much more!
Hart is the creator of the Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated comic series Ripple Effects. Centered on an invulnerable superhero with type 1 diabetes, the story was placed on the American Library Association’s Best Graphic Novels for Adults reading list and was a finalist for the Excellence in Graphic Literature Awards. More recently he has worked on the supernatural adventure series The Cabinet with co-creator David Ebeltoft and artist Chiara Raimondi.
Ebeltoft is an accomplished screenwriter working mostly within the thriller, horror, and drama genres. His work has been hailed as “suspenseful”, “emotionally-driven”, and “decidedly chilling”. David released Here Alone in 2016 and his upcoming film Blood for Dust hits theaters on April 19, 2024.
Their comic The Cabinet debuted in February from Image Comics. In the vibrant, tongue-in-cheek adventure series, atypical teen Avani and midwestern jock Trent teleport across a post-Cold War landscape to collect bizarre relics. Why? Well, because they need to summon the arcane powers of a resplendent 17th-century cabinet to fix a teeny-tiny mistake the last time Avani used it… unleashing an ancient evil from its prison and accidentally slaughtering her parents.
The third issue hits shelves on April 10 with a fourth coming May 15 and a trade paperback debuting in October.
