CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: ORLANDO HARDING

Orlando Harding's penchant for fast action and deeper meaning has always been reflected in his work. For 1First Comics, his two titles, RRH and NIGHT STALKER, reflect the same theme in two different ways - overcoming adversity in a world that no longer makes any sense. In RRH, the main character, Sydney, finds herself confronting a murderous wolf and is plunged into a world of magical threats and supernatural opponents. In NIGHT STALKER, Dyana plunges headfirst from the Infernal Realms into the hell of our own world's many, many moral and societal failings, all in an effort to bring back the worst of the worst who have escaped Satan's clutches.

What makes this guy tick? What drives him to tell the stories he tells? We conducted a brief interview with Orlando to shed a little light on the matter!
--------------------------------------
1FIRST COMICS: Comics are an extremely broad and unpredictable medium and can make the reader laugh, cry, or gasp. With so many possibilities of outcome between the creator and reader, what do you hope the reader will take away from your work?

ORLANDO: Unpredictability. I really strive to create comics where the reader won't know exactly what was going to happen on the next page. I couldn't stand reading books (or viewing movies) where you know how the story would end in the first few pages or scenes. I try to keep the reader off balance and coming back for more because they have no idea as to what’s on the next page.
-----------------------------------------

For the rest of the interview, please go on over to www.1firstcomics.com and check out this month's first Creator Spotlight interview with ORLANDO HARDING!!!
