This interview with Kate Brown, creator of The DFC‘s story Spider Moon, is the latest of several items being published by The DFC team via YouTube.

Kate, who lives in Oxford is a comic book artist and illustrator who says she loves music such as Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie and whose favourite books include Demian by Hermann Hesse, and Peter Pan and Wendy by JM Barrie.

It’s been rumoured that, apparently, every sixth leap year, her atoms transport themselves to the moon for thirty-nine seconds.
