JM: It’s funny. I never knew much about Scooby-Doo beyond the general concept. It wasn’t a show I grew up with or paid much attention to. In the past year and a half I’ve written five episodes of the Be Cool, Scooby-Doo animated show and then, completely unrelated, Giffen and I were asked to be the launchpoint for the new DC/Hanna-Barbera universe. Suddenly, I’m up to my neck in Scooby-Doo!
The book is an attempt to do serious horror, but with a grounding in character and humor (one of our touchstones is the movie Zombieland). We’re trying to stay true to the essence of these classic characters yet take them off into uncharted territory. So far, we’ve been having great fun and the book has been getting a great response.
