Western Tales

Edmonton's Vue Weekly reports on a new comic book collaboration between cartoonist Bob Prodor and country singer Corb Lund (of Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans). Western Tales is a 24-page collection of stories that illustrate song lyrics done in the style of a circa-1970s DC comic:

Illustrator and comic book artist Bob Prodor has known Lund for a while --long enough to refer to him as Corby-- and has worked with the musician on "gig posters, and I did some drawings for Five Dollar Bill, but they didn't get used," says the easygoing Prodor, who has a number of projects under his belt, including his own long-running comic, Wine, Women and Song.

"I wouldn't normally work with anyone else on a comic," he adds. "I have my own stories. But Corby is an old friend, and it's not what he does. He usually needs a band to say what he wants to say. So it's different. I still get to put my visual ideas in there."
