It seemed like just the kind of challenge Mark was pushing me to undertake. Preacher and Blankets come to mind as recent successes, but in my mind, it’s still a difficult and rather unexplored genre in the comics medium. There have been so few love stories done really well in comics. I’ve also always wanted to do a really powerful, human love story. I experimented a bit with it last year when I did the ULTRA THE MULTI-ALIEN short story for Vertigo’s STRANGE ADVENTURES anthology and enjoyed that project so much that I was eager to do more. Sci-Fi is something I’ve wanted to tackle for a while. Finally he pushed me to leave my comfort zone, and get away from the genres and themes that I’d become known for.
I pitched a number of ideas to editor Mark Doyle that I wasn’t totally happy with. We asked Lemire to share some thoughts about the new series and here’s what he said: “As Sweet Tooth moved towards its conclusion earlier this year, I started to look ahead to what my next creator-owned project for DC/Vertigo could be. Media Release - Arriving in 2013, Vertigo will publish TRILLIUM, a limited series written and illustrated by the incomparable Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Animal Man, Justice League Dark, Essex County Trilogy, Ghosts).
