This week on Kasterborous, Christian chats with Gareth Kavanagh about the latest Kickstarter from Cutaway Comics, Paradise Towers: Unalive the Multiverse.

Returning to the neon-soaked world of Doctor Who's classic 1987 story Paradise Towers, the new graphic novel continues the adventures of the Kangs, Rezzies, and Caretakers as a fresh threat emerges from across the multiverse. The project is written by Sean Mason and builds on Cutaway's previous Paradise Towers comics. 

Visit the Paradise Towers: Unalive the Multiverse Kickstarter.

Christian and Gareth discuss:

  • Why Paradise Towers remains such a rich setting nearly 40 years after its television debut

  • The development of Unalive the Multiverse

  • Cutaway Comics' approach to expanding corners of the Doctor Who universe

  • The continuing involvement of original Paradise Towers creator Stephen Wyatt

  • Wyatt's first-ever comic strip, Scary Cat, created especially for this project

  • The importance of creating opportunities for new comic creators

  • The search for a brand-new artist to illustrate Wyatt's story, following Cutaway's tradition of helping emerging talent break into professional comics

As Gareth explains, the artist search mirrors the process that originally brought artist Silvano Beltramo into the Paradise Towers range, demonstrating Cutaway Comics' commitment to discovering fresh talent.
