Joe Harris and Martin Morazzo’s Great Pacific is one of the handful of recent Image launches that have made the publisher’s last few years a remarkable success story.Along with books like Fatale, Saga and Revival, the series is one of a number of new, original concepts that are consistently selling out while drawing rave reviews and best-of nominations from around the industry. And in Harris’s case, Great Pacific is the kind of widescreen adventure story that many of Images’s smaller-scale, more personal books tend to be short on.Harris describes the title as “a sci-fi adventure and survival story about a guy who’s been given everything but wants to change the world in ways money can’t, directly, buy,” but of course it helps that the guy in question is Chas Worthington, a spoiled rich kid who’s embezzled a ton of money from his own company and has a lot of people after him while he “hides” in plain sight in, basically, his own little country.Harris joined us recently to talk about the currently-ongoing second arc in the series, as well as his emergence as one of the Image Firsts line of $1 first issues and being part of the great post-apocalyptic craze in creator-owned comics.
