Westron: Shawn McBee & MJ Jankowski Talk Slavic Folklore, Lore Building, and Crafting Modern Horror in Comics

Unveiling Westron – A Deep Dive into Modern Mythmaking with Shawn McBee & MJ Jankowski

In this episode, Al Mega sits down with the creative minds behind WESTRON, the chilling new comic book blending Slavic mythology with urban dread. Co-creators Shawn McBee (DC’s Stargirl, Table Reads podcast) and MJ Jankowski (Polish folklore fanatic, storyteller extraordinaire) take us behind the scenes of their journey—from Hollywood sets to ancient myths—and how they’ve built a world where monsters don’t hide in shadows… they hide in plain sight.
