Archie Comics’ fantastical feline confronts his past in The Nine Lives Of Salem
WORDS: STEPHEN JEWELL
AS “A GUY WHO HAS A handful of cats”, Cullen Bunn is ideally suited to write the latest one-shot to star Sabrina Spellman’s magical moggy, teaming up with artists Dan Schoening and Ben Galvan on The Nine Lives Of Salem.
“I thought it would be funny to incorporate some of my cats’ mannerisms and – dare I say – attitudes into him,” says Bunn, who depicts Salem as the John Constantine of the Archie Universe. “He has this awesome sinister vibe that really helps to sell the whole ‘cat as an occult investigator’ angle, and we definitely play with some of the feline tropes.”
