This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes back Dakota Brown to the program to discuss his original graphic novel Death Comes for the Toymaker and much more!
Brown is the writer and creator of Death Comes for the Toymaker at Magma Comix as we all as Grandma Tilly’s Hell-Tech Mech at Band of Bards. The debut issue of Toymaker hit shelves summer of 2023 from Scout Comics, but after a long wait the trade paperback of the entire series hits shelves at local comic shops on November 6, 2024 (FOC: September 30) and bookstores everywhere on November 19.
Death comes for us all. But for Gil the Toymaker, the visit is an eternal tragedy! Every year the holiday gift giver visits children all over the world on a special night, but Gil’s immortality comes at a cost. Forced to do the work of Death, carrying a list of ready-to-harvest souls alongside his naughty and nice lists, Gil gives toys and takes souls all in one night! But as the Toymaker reflects on the relationship he’s had with Death for several millennia, an associate reveals a scheme that may just put an end to Death’s contract (and, perhaps, Death himself!).
