TB: The group released a comic book Jack The Radio: Creatures Anthology with your 2020
release Creatures. I understand each one of the chapters is dedicated to the fourteen songs on
the album. What was the inspiration to do a comic book release along with the album?

George: Yes! I loved comics as a kid and got back into them in 2008 as an adult. I started going to
comic conventions and meeting artists and I got inspired to start drawing again. Over the years, I was
doing my own design work and got to know a lot of super talented artists. At the end of 2019, I reached
out to a few artist friends with the idea of doing short comics based on songs from the album, and I was
excited that they were open to the idea. I quickly taught myself how to write some basic scripts and
adapted the song lyrics into script ideas with input from the artists. I was thrilled with the amount of
talent that worked on the book and getting to collaborate with thirty artists from eight countries was a
massive effort but a big motivation for me to do it. Also, having that extra visual component as a
companion to the album was a bucket list item for me.
