About this listen
In this in-depth conversation, Ben Mauro — legendary concept artist behind Halo, Elysium, and Chappie — joins This Comic Cooks to talk about the creation of HUXLEY, his deeply personal sci-fi graphic novel universe.
We explore why Mauro chose comics over film, how HUXLEY grew from a solo passion project into a global bookstore release, and what it means to create something physical in an increasingly digital world.
We are talking:
How HUXLEY was built one page at a time
Why physical books still matter in 2026
The role of AI in modern science fiction
Mauro’s influences (Akira, Moebius, Dune)
How HUXLEY: The Oracle expands the universe
What makes meaningful sci-fi timeless
If you love science fiction, graphic novels, worldbuilding, or thoughtful conversations about creativity and craft, this episode is for you.
