A dark and foreboding fantasy of the future, Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis would be one of the most influential of the 20th Century. Even if you didn’t know it, you’ve seen its echoes. Recently entering into the public domain, it’s getting its first official comics adaptation. Writer Rocko Jerome saw the opportunity, and began the Kickstarter campaign to make it happen.
While we sat down to talk about his comics work, the interview quickly turned to the impact of the film. Ghosts of the past caution us. Depending on the version you see, they do it to a techno beat. Enjoy the interview, and if you haven’t seen it already, seek out Metropolis.
