Meet Peach. How did she get her name? What's her secret? What have the monsters taken from her village? Franco and Agnes Garbowska talk to us about their Halloween ComicFest mini-comic, Peach and the Isle of Monsters!



Halloween ComicFest: For those unfamiliar with Peach and the Isle of Monsters, how would you describe the story?

Franco: It’s the story of a girl named PEACH trying to find her place in the world but it only becomes evident when she is goes on a quest to find herself which takes her to Monster Isle. It’s about standing up to bullies and being okay with who you are on the inside.

Halloween ComicFest: Why Peach—what makes her the perfect character to tell this story?

Franco: Peach is the perfect character to tell this story because she doesn’t know who she is or where she really came from. A blank slate that almost anyone can relate to when she begins here journey to became the woman she is.

Halloween ComicFest: What kinds of monsters reside on the Isle of Monsters?

Franco: Oooo… Big ones! I can’t really tell you about them but Monster are scary looking and you shouldn’t always judge a book by it’s cover!(…unless it’s Peach and then you should definitely judge the book.)

Agnes Garbowska: Big ones as Franco says!!! You would have to read the story to find out more, but they are really neat monsters for sure!! I had a lot of fun designing the looks of all the characters and monsters.

Halloween ComicFest:
How does Peach and the Isle of Monsters set itself apart from other all-ages comics?

Franco: It will be a self-contained story. Beginning middle and ending. One big giant book of PEACH and her journey to finding out what kind of woman she is supposed to be. It’s full of Ninjas, Pirates and Monsters!

Agnes Garbowska: It is one giant comic filled with awesome! I think it really has something for everyone and a lot of adventure.  Plus, some cute characters as well! With me drawing it, of course you have to have some cuteness thrown into the mayhem.  

Halloween ComicFest:
What are some of your favorite all-ages comics?

Franco: I love all kinds of comics! Besides my comics like GRIMMISS ISLAND and ITTY BIITY HELLBOY and TINY TITANS I really like BONE, which I read with my son and really liked LUMBERJANES and superhero comics.

Agnes Garbowska: There are actually many I really enjoy, some that I can think of off the topic of my head are My Little Pony, Powderpuff Girls, Tiny Titans, Li’l Gotham, and Adventure Time.

Halloween ComicFest: What are some of your favorite Halloween movies or monsters?

Franco: From way back I loved MONSTER SQUAD… they have all the classics in that one. Dracula and Frankenstein!

Agnes Garbowska: I really like zombies…I have always really liked zombies for some reason. So anything Zombie related is awesome! In general, I really like horror movies so I watch a lot of them.

Halloween ComicFest:
If fans enjoy Peach and the Isle of Monsters, what other comics would you recommend?

Franco: SPOT on ADVENTURE, GRIMMISS ISLAND, ITTY BIITY HELLBOY and AW YEAH COMICS.

Agnes Garbowska: 
My Little Pony!! I love working on the MLP books and I think they really are awesome all-age stories. And read Aw Yeah Comics…anything Franco does is awesome. I have some fun (but not finished) all-age web comics on my website as well at agnesgarbowska.com.
