Interview: Tyler Boss You’ll Do Bad Things #1 out March 26, with artist Adriano Turtulici

1. What inspired you to blend the true crime genre with the pulpy, neon-soaked aesthetic of Giallo films in You’ll Do Bad Things?
2. How did the concept of a true crime writer whose fictional murders start happening in real life come to life? Was it your own writers block?
3. Can you describe the creative journey behind developing Seth Holms as a character struggling to write a happy ending?
4. The comic is described as a "love letter to the Italian slasher genre"—how have films like those of Dario Argento influenced your storytelling and visuals?
5. 13
6. How do you balance the elements of horror, gore, and B-horror camp with a critique of our cultural obsession with true crime?
7. I really liked how, in a scene set in the narrative, you call back to the fact we’re in the story within the story via lettering, was that in the script or Hassan’s idea?
8. With He Came in with a Smile as a backdrop, how does Seth’s past impact the unfolding narrative in this new miniseries?
9. What are some of the challenges you faced while infusing both literary and cinematic influences into a cohesive comic book experience?
10. In what ways do you hope readers engage with the commentary on true crime fandom as they dive into this dark, twisted world?
11. If you discovered that your own stories were coming to life, which character from 'You'll Do Bad Things' would you least want to encounter in a dark alley, and how would you try to escape their clutches?
