Patric Reynolds is a comic book illustrator, who has worked with some incredible names over the past decade. A former public school teacher, Reynolds took the jump in 2009 to become a comic book artist, and hasn't looked back. Patric has some impressive credits to his name, including many "Mignolaverse" titles including Hellboy & the BPRD 1954 and Abe Sapien.
Patric was a recent guest at Comic Con Africa in Johannesburg, and was kind enough to spend some time sharing his path to geekdom including which animated movie became his first geek obsession; his encyclopedic knowledge on the differences between black and white rhinos; and, his latest work on "The Mask: I Pledge Allegiance To The Mask!", a new four issue limited series which is on sale now, and has some ... interesting analogies to the current US political environment.
Two notes before we begin: firstly, we recorded this interview at Patric's booth at Comic Con Africa, and there were a number of fans interacting with him during our chat, so there might be some narrative hiccoughs in our conversation. Secondly, a massive shout out to the Death Wish Coffee team - Comic Con Africa was an amazing event, but with so much on offer, and some guests struggling with jetlag, we really needed the world's strongest coffee to get us through.
