Writer / former Vertigo editor / TV writer
March 24, 2026

Pornsak Pichetshote — writer of The Good Asian and Infidel, former Vertigo editor and DC television executive — joins Splash Pages for one of the most structurally rich interviews in the archive. He traces what Karen Berger taught him about horror, why he picks his editor before his artist, how he builds mysteries in The Good Asian, and how class conflict shaped Absolute Green Arrow: a serial-killer investigation centered on murdered corrupt billionaires and green arrows left in their bodies.
