Catching Up With Carla Speed McNeil

Carla Speed McNeil regularly attends Baltimore Comic Con, but it’s not the easiest thing in the world to get her on camera. The reasons for Carla’s absence on video are many — most notably being that her books fly off her table as fast as she can put them out for the public to peruse. But this year the PREVIEWSworld booth expanded to the point where a stage was set up for this year’s interviews, and too many people were pulling Carla in the direction of the bright lights for her to say “no,” and stay behind her table.

As always Carla has her hands in a number of projects, and she can easily go on about what keeps her busy around the clock 24-7. But this year’s banter went beyond the present time, and became a moment to reflect on Baltimore Comic Cons in years past. With the devastation of hurricanes on everyone’s minds (Harvey, Irma, and Maria), Carla commented on how it reminded her of where everyone’s thoughts were on the floor of the 2001 Con when the Twin Towers fell in New York City.

“Nobody wanted to fly,” Carla reflected. “Marc Nathan out of the goodness of his heart basically folded SPX into Baltimore that year. So ever since then, I’ve been popping up here.”

Outside of her time machine tale, Carla then went on to list the variety of books she has under her wing for a variety of publishers like Image's The Wicked & The Divine Christmas Annual #1 (OCT170608), as well as her work on Adam Warren’s Empowered & Sistah Spooky’s High School Hell #1 (OCT170019) being of particular interest given that it is a Gem of the Month in the October PREVIEWS catalog. Look for that particular book in the Dark Horse section of the catalog, and check out the above PREVIEWSworld video to hear our rare interview with the one-and-only herself, Carla Speed McNeil!
