This week on the AIPT Comics Podcast, we’re bringing you the full, uncut interview with Chris Condon and Charlie Adlard, the creative team behind Of the Earth. If you’re into slow-burn horror that gets under your skin, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. We dig into how the series taps into environmental fears, why restraint can be more powerful than spectacle, and how the story builds a creeping sense of dread that lingers long after you’ve finished reading.
Across the interview, Condon and Adlard open up about their creative process, the themes driving the book, and the challenge of telling an eco-horror story that feels grounded and real. It’s a thoughtful, wide-ranging discussion about tone, collaboration, and what horror can say about the world we’re living in right now. Stick around for the full interview, plus our usual breakdown of the week’s biggest comics news and our picks for the best books you should be reading.
