'Malice' wasn't about horror to start with but an underground comic driven by the power of rumour. However, as nothing fuels a rumour like fear, I decided that it had to be a frightening comic.

We relate comics to the main super-heroes, but it's a great medium through which all sorts of stories are told.

There was a big horror boom in the '80s, and I liked its originality and what you could get away with.

I spend a lot of time on eBay buying vintage. I also really like Alexander Wang, Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood, McQueen and Balmain.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!
