CBR TV @ NYCC 2014: Kate Leth Brings Her Inner Burton to “Edward Scissorhands”

Cartoonist Kate Leth spent some time discussing her comics career with Jonah Weiland in the CBR TV Tiki Room at New York Comic Con, from writing and illustrating her “Kate or Die” webcomic to her participation in Beware the Valkyries, an online community she founded to provide a place for female comic shop workers to gather and discuss the unique issues they face in their work.

Leth also went into detail about the challenges of her latest gig, writing “Edward Scissorhands” for IDW Publishing, opening up about how she deals with the book’s darker tones, which are different from her typical, more kid-friendly comics work. The acclaimed cartoonist explained how the series artist, Drew Rausch, helps bring the book in line with creator Tim Burton’s very specific sensibilities and style.
