Part-Time Fanboy Podcast: Ep 526 Richard Ashley Hamilton Does Some Investigating in Scoop and Tective!

Part-Time Fanboy Podcast

Richard Ashley Hamilton is a Cuban-American writer who’s worked as a screenwriter on several Dreamworks properties and in comics with publishers like Dark Horse. He currently has two young adult graphic novel titles, Scoop (currently in stores) and Tective (set to be released in December), from the Maverick imprint of Mad Cave Studios. Both detail the exploits of teenage female investigators who solve crimes but in very different worlds. In Scoop a young lady finds herself investigating incidents of the supernatural in modern day Miami while working as an intern for a local TV news station. In Tective an adolescent in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles has to figure out why her best friend has gone missing. Both books offer entertaining and intriguing spins on a type of protagonist made popular by characters like Nancy Drew and Veronica Mars. On this episode of the Part-Time Fanboy podcast Kristian chats with Richard about the inspiration behind his latest creations and how his experiences in the news industry and Hollywood helped him craft these two similar yet very different stories.
