That’s another interesting thing to see coming to flesh on the TV show. So that has been awesome to find ways in which the creators of the show have expanded the concept of the comic and the cast of characters. Whereas in a TV show you can devote and entire episode to a concept that could have been introduced in a single panel of a comic book. And when you have a big concept, story, and idea you have to be careful about strategically picking the stuff you actually need to tell your story. So as we’ve said ’s all about thinking up exactly what you want to say on the page because the room is so little. But then we didn’t have room to keep exploring the kinds of stories we could keep telling with that type of key. In the comics it makes an appearance in a single panel where we introduce the concept.
RODRIGUEZ: I think one of the things that has been interesting so far that we’ve seen in the show and have a few hints of where we’re headed in upcoming seasons, is that basically the TV show has allowed us room to explore stuff that we just have very few instances to try in the comics… the chance to exploit, for example, the powers of the Plant Key in the comics. Were there things you really wanted to put it but don’t work on television? Everything in comics is shorthand… You need to do everything you can to keep it short and tight. So there’s a chance to explore the characters at a depth you can only hint at in a comic. You can have a conversation that would fill half your comic is only three minutes of TV time. You can explore so much more about the hearts of the characters and the relationships with each other. So in the context of a TV show there’s so much more you can explore. One issue would translate to 12 minutes of screentime, if that. There’s so much less narrative real estate in a comic book… If you just filmed what was in a comic book, you’d have a 12-minute TV show. HILL: I dont know that there was any one specific element… the TV show does offer such a broad canvas. Was there anything you couldn’t put in the comics that you were able to add to the series? The comics are template for the Netflix series.
The Nerds of Color, along with other members of the press, were incredibly lucky to talk to this legendary duo of comic creators about the new season, including differences between their award-winning comic book series, and the show. This Friday, Locke and Key returns for Season 2 on Netflix! To celebrate, we are continuing our special interviews with the series’ cast and crew! Today, we’re speaking with the the one and only creators of the Locke and Key comic series, as well as the executive producers of the Netflix series, Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez.
