Author Spotlight – Bryan Lee O’Malley
Jan 19, 2011 | 1 Comment | @andrewmarcec
Bryan’s claim to fame has come with the success of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, but he has been working on comics for quite a while before the fame of Pilgrim came into the picture. As a child he realized his love for the comic medium and decided then and there to make it his vocation.
In college he dabbled with film and music, under the alias Kupek. Kupek was a one man band project that released seven albums, all of which can be downloaded on his site. Bryan then got a job lettering for Oni Press, the same company that would move forward and publish both of his titles to date.
His first was called Lost at Sea, that tells the coming of age story of Raleigh, who believes her soul was stolen by a cat, and the road trip she takes across the United States with people she barely knows.
Scott Pilgrim came several years later. The name is derived from a song by Plumtree, a band from Nova Scotia. Scott Pilgrim was heavily influenced by the manga style of Beck, which is also a comic about a bunch of kids that start a band. The series ran six issues long, and has been adapted into a feature film starring Michael Cera.
