Devinder Thiara and Jesse Scoble share how their screenplaywas transformed into a comic book, the challenges of creating a comic, and why execution matters most in any creative project.
Devinder Thiara lives in the Greater Toronto Area, where hecontributes to tabletop roleplaying games - such as Dune, John Carter of Mars, Conan: Adventures in the Age Undreamed Of, and the new Marvel Multiverse RPG.
While much of his youth was spent skipping school andloitering in the multiplex theaters of the Eaton Center, downtown bookstores, and arcades, he eventually went to the university of Guelph where he earned a degree in English literature.
While at Guelph, he met Jesse Scoble, also pursuing an English degree, and a lifelong friendship was forged.
Jesse, after getting his own BA in English, worked in thetabletop industry, working on projects like A Game of Thrones d20 and Silver Age Sentinels before moving into writing for video games. Over 20 years he’s contributed to games such as Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey, Far Cry 5, HyperScape, and even Webkinz and Wizard101. Jesse currently lives in Montreal.
Devinder and Jesse have collaborated on multiple projectsduring their careers, but recently decided to put their efforts into their own creation, Dead Money, a black and white horror comic. They formed a small team of friends, and brought on Tomás Aira to illustrate it, and last year published their first issue.
