This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes comic creator Tyler Crook to the podcast to discuss his contribution to Hello Darkness #17, Out of Alcatraz, and more!
Crook is a comic book artist and writer. After more than a decade of working in the video game industry, he transitioned to creating comics in 2011 with his first book, Petrograd. This effort won him the coveted Russ Manning Promising Newcomer award. In the years since then he has worked on titles like The Sixth Gun, BPRD: Hell on Earth, Witchfinder, Black Hammer, and most notably Harrow County, which was nominated for an Eisner award.
In 2022, Tyler released The Lonesome Hunters, the first comic book series he both wrote and drew. His work has been awarded two Ghastly Awards and a Brahm Stoker Award and has been nominated for several Eisner Awards. His comics are notable for their lush traditional watercolor and ink rendering and emotive character work.
Crook contributed to the Hello Darkness issue #17 which hits local comic shops on December 24, 2026 from BOOM! Studios.
