THR talked to 'Ash & Thorn' creator Mariah McCourt (TiredFairy) about the series, its influences, and the unexpected importance of pie recipes — no, really
is a series that re-examines some well-traveled ideas and finds new, unexpected, directions to explore — but don’t mistake it for an outright parody.talked to McCourt about the series, its influences, and the unexpected importance of pie recipes — no, really — accompanied by an extended preview of the first issue, courtesy of the publisher.
Talking about how you’re playing with expectations, one of the things I really liked about the book is that you’re not just playing the idea for laughs — there’s no “Oh, she’s supposed to do acrobatics, but she’s!” punchline. How important to you is it that people understand that, while this is obviously a fun book, it’s not a book that’s making fun of older characters?
In my life, older women have been the heroes, the activists, the artists, the people I've looked up to. So that's where these characters came from. She's different than a younger character because she has a lifetime of experience to pull from; she's not a teenager or just barely an adult, when your sense of self is still developing. So her arc is very different, about a different kind of attitude towards heroism and doing the right thing, when you thought you were "done" with that kind of thing and discover you aren't.
Because you mentioned it — there are recipes in each issue of the series! AHOY had been running extras in their single issues for awhile, but the idea that the creative team of the book is basically offering up suggested taste pairings for their story feels really new. Have you been waiting to bust out the gingerbread recipe for awhile, and this felt like the best option to do so?
