Interview with Author Lord A. Morman

During New York's ComicCon I got to meet and buy the first five comics of 4-15 from Lord A. Morman. It's a gory horror series, so if you're not up for that, I don't suggest it. In fact, Lord A. Morman made sure that even though I said I was cool with that, that I at least flipped through the comic before making my purchase. I feel really lucky to have interviewed him. 

Lord A. Morman

Kaylyn Gabbert:  I'm glad I bought the 5-in-1 hardcover of 4-15: The Series from you because I was having a very hard time putting it down. How'd you come up with the idea?

Lord A. Morman: I am happy to hear that you like the series so far. The story was actually my senior project for college. It actually started out as a superhero story. After we finished filming the short film, I could not stop writing. It went from a very dark superhero story to a Sci-Fi Horror web series. In changing genres, I was able to not only go as dark as needed for the main story as well as some of the backstories. 

KG: I don't hear many others talking about their senior projects, and how they still have a passion for something in that field. Did you always know you wanted to write comics? 

LAM: I have always been a fan of comics. Aliens vs Predators was one of my first graphic novels. With that being said I did not think I would be in this position today. Of course, when I was a kid the jobs or careers that you heard from others were Doctor, Lawyer, and Athlete. I thought I was going against the grain by going to school for Visual Effects and Motion Graphics. With that being said I love this new path that I am on. 


KG:  Do you have a favorite character that you can divulge without spoilers?  

LAM: I have a personal connection to all of my characters whether it be their abilities or certain aspects of their personalities. If I were to choose a favorite, it would have to be Jason. His intelligence and reasoning for the things he must do to protect what is dear to him.    

KG: Do you have a favorite character ability without spoilers? 

LAM: I would have to say Mary’s/5-20’s ability to induce hallucinations in others. Without any spoilers in later issues, we will see the uses of her abilities. 

 

KG: Do you have the whole story planned out?
LAM: Oh yes, as a web series, I have 3 seasons written with 10 episodes per season. The series was planned to end with the third season or 30th issue. 


KG: Is there a plan to make all of 4-15 physical comics?  

LAM: I plan on continuing to make all of my series physical comics. I am planning on going digital as well. We are going to be releasing Issue 1 on Webtoons 11/13/2023.  

KG: Is there a link you'd like to share for the webcomic? 

LAM: The webtoon link will be coming soon. In the meantime, physical and digital issues can be purchased on our website ThatsWildeMan.com

Treasured Memories

WARNING: THIS WILL BE MY LONGEST BLOG ENTRY. Worked on this through August 6 through September 4. Started this post August 10th. Life, as we know it, is a complicated storybook for humanity as a whole. Some lives end before they can begin while others experience a lengthy lifetime of bizarre moments that form character development and plot twists. Some stories tell of sacrifice of a parent or child while some stories tell of a victorious march that turned the tides for a nation. Your life is your story and it's scary knowing how much control over it you actually have. Are you the courageous protagonist  or the disillusioned antagonist? Are you a doctor living wealthy or are you scraping change and living paycheck to paycheck? How much of your story have you shared with others, and how much have you kept away? Life doesn't end after the book is finished. Each of us impact someone else in an amazing or terrible way. But it's up to you how your story coincides with someon...

Treasured Memories Part II

Image
A few days ago, July 3rd, I was reading the latest issue of Reader's Digest. The first article that caught my attention was 'Why I've Decided Not to Write a Memoir'. It was about a woman who being given a very detailed and loving letter from her grandmother about why her grandmother couldn't write a memoir even though she had so many stories collected. This article made me reread the first  Treasured Memories I wrote almost a year ago. A lot has changed since that draft for some, and I want to add more people as well. Some bonds have grown stronger, and others have made their mark in my lately. Books named in the memories will be linked in the bottom. I will be using Goodreads links because Goodreads is also important to a few memories.

The Perfect Book for a Traveler of the Mind or Vacationer

  I recently finished reading ‘Where to Go When’ by DK Eyewitness, and the immediate things that make the book fabulous are it breaks up locations by what month is the best time to visit them, they tell when else to go, and all about planning your trip. Each ‘chapter’ is month by month. The other months each location may mention may mention off-seasons, concerts, holidays, ect. In the planning your trip section they mention getting there, getting around, the weather in that month, and the average weather in Fahrenheit and Celsius. For any and all travelers that is extremely important, the Fahrenheit and Celsius because you don’t want to have to take your phone out to translate that on your own all the time.  While reading the book a few places stood out to me as research places for my work like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan, and Galway, Ireland. Rio de Janeiro was in February, Kyoto was in April, Galway was in September, and Tokyo was in November. As I was alw...
