I have this philosophy based on character actors, says artist Robert Hack.
If youre at an audition and someone says, Can you ride a horse?
you say, Absolutely!
and then you learn how to ride a horse.
I love this so much!

He still cant quite believe hes come this far.
Its mind-blowing, Hack tells Vulture while summing up his wild, four-year ride.
Growing up, I was a big Archie fan, he says.
I think I found the second Sabrina appearance at a flea market at some point and totally dug it.
And thenSabrinahit and things went kinda crazy.
Everyone was mentioning my name all at once, Hack recalls.
Then Roberto reached out and asked if I had ever done a monthly book before.
But the recruitment offer potentially posed a problem.
Hack had done some interior work for comics in the past, but never on a monthly schedule.
Thats where the horse-riding adage comes in: I said, Absolutely, I can do a monthly book!
and then I learned how, he says with a laugh.
Time was of the essence.
There was an incredible deadline on the first and second issues, Hack says.
So I had very little time to do design work.
It was happening on the page, almost, in the last few pages of issue one.
More often than not, Id just pitch something and no one would tell me no.
Well, adaptation might be too strong a word.
Lovecraft the way the printed version does, among other deviations.
Its inarguably the widest audience hes ever had, but he says getting it done wasnt that arduous.
Most of the art in the animation was taken from the book, itself, he says.
Its something I took great delight in.
Issue nine is being worked on!
Its just as fun and weird and messed-up as everyone had hoped.
Though he has the script, he hasnt been in close touch with its scribe.
Robertos just as messed-up as I am, in all the right ways, he says.
Okay, how can I make that worse?
