This week, Mike and Alex have the good fortune to be joined by another incredible member of the Deep Cuts team, all the way from Italy, artist Helena Masellis! Helena starts by describing the comic scene she was exposed to growing up in Brazil, from both the US and Asia, and how that influenced a whole generation of Brazilian artists. They also discuss into the importance of having diverse voices from all different backgrounds contributing to comics and how the widening of the talent-pool net has led to better stories. Then they dig into Deep Cuts issue #2, Helena's issue, and go deep into things- from her process as an artist to working with colorist Igor Monti to all of the Wizard of Oz references peppered throughout the issue. Helena also describes how the scripts she received from Kyle Higgins and Joe Clark gave her the freedom to express the story in the way she felt was best, and explains why, despite having never been to Chicago before, the 1920s jazz era was already perfectly suited for her to draw. We can't thank Helena enough for being so generous with her time (especially with the time difference) and we can't wait to get our hands on the the four(!!!) different books she's working on currently (well, three, I guess, for those of us in the US).

You can follow Helena on Instagram and Bluesky, and you keep track of all her work on her Linktree.
