![]() ![]() ![]() Combining the desire to do a really affecting personal love story and putting it against an SF backdrop seemed fun. I decided that doing a love story that not a lot of comics people try to do. ![]() I’d pitched a couple of things to Vertigo after Sweet Tooth that didn’t really go anywhere, and my editor challenged me to do something a little different. That was really appealing to me, to build that world from scratch and populate it. Trillium was my chance to draw planets and aliens and spaceships and all that fun stuff. When I was drawing Sweet Tooth, it was SF but very much grounded in our world. I grew up reading it, love it, but I hadn’t really had a chance to do anything in that genre in comics yet. Gamma Squad: Where did the concept for this story start? Lemire took a few minutes to talk with us about Trillium, working as both artist and writer, and discussing the book’s unique flip style and layouts. His new miniseries, Trillium, is a love story crossing ’20s British exploration adventure with a future where humanity is on the verge of being wiped out by a sentient virus. ![]() But Lemire is also an accomplished writer/artist at Vertigo, having just finished Sweet Tooth. Jeff Lemire is no stranger here his work on DC’s mainstream books, such as Animal Man, is something we regularly harangue you about reading every few Wednesdays. ![]()
