Interview: Rob Williams and Pye Parr ‘Petrol Head’ out November 8

1. What is the fascination with fast cars and racing in our world’s culture, do you think?
2. What was the first bud of an idea for Petrol Head, and how did it evolve once Pye finished the first issue?
3. What other extreme sports have happened before the Petrol Head races?
4. Humans would definitely still go for the old types of entertainment, regardless of the environmental cost, right?
5. I love Head’s design. Where did the idea for two different eye shapes come from?
6. Are there any challenges to getting a character like PH to emote?
7. I imagine there are some fun brainstorming sessions to come up with the car and bot designs. Walk us through your collaboration process!
8. The colors in this book are insane in the best possible way. How did you come up with the palette of this world?
9. Is there anything you learned about your own work after working on this project?
10. If Petrol Head was adapted into TV or film, who would you love see direct?
11. Anything else to plug?
