Part Two of our Interview with Jesse Young & Sandra Lanz of Saint James, Filmed At: Docking Bay 94.

Episode Four Interview with Jesse Young and Sandra Lanz from Saint James

…we got a chance to find out when we sat down with Jesse Young (who co-owns Saint James with Robert James Russell) and Sandra Lanz (artist for Ex-Occultus) at Docking Bay 94 . The plan was to talk about Saint James and Ex-Occultus; what ensued was a two hour conversation about everything from Music (Jesse is a musician with quite an impressive list of accomplishments) to comic books, what we enjoy reading & how each of us got into comics. We are editing the footage now, and will post it shortly.

Ex-Occultus:

Ex-Occultus is the story of Francis Wakefield, and his protege, Hollander, as they search for fortune and treasure, righting wrongs as they go. The story is described as being a combination of elements from Indiana Jones, H.P Lovecraft, and the X-Files. Those influences are definitely noticeable in the eight page preview of the Badge of Langavat.

In Badge of Langavat, Wakefield and fellow occult hunter Fergus Duff battle a family of cursed werewolves, bent on sacrificing children from nearby villages in order to regain their humanity.

I must admit that this is not a comic I would normally pick up and read, but I am glad I did! All the pieces come together to make for a great book. Robert is a novelist who is bringing a lot of historical facts to the story. Sandra is an art major who specializes in portraits (she was discovered by Jesse at Docking Bay 94) her style fits the characters and time period very nicely. The preview ends with a cliff hanger and I for one cannot wait to see what happens next. Badge of Langavat is on schedule for a May release, for now you can check out the eight page preview.
