Before I reviewed Pirate Eye, I got a chance to chat with creators Carl Yonder and Joe Grahn. We talked about how to blend up pirates and detectives, Space Ghost, and the seedy underbelly of Pirate Noir. Check it out.

Jess Fink, creator of Chester 5000, was an absolute delight talking to. I ran into the same problem with her that I had with Sylvan Migdal; I am a huge fan of her work, but her work happens to be smut. There’s no easy way to approach this, so I took the liberty of editing [...]

Sitting down with Derf Backderf was one of the highlights of my 2012 SPX experience. He’s a tall guy, depicted roughly as you see him in the back of My Friend Dahmer, with a few years on him. His aforementioned work was one of the highlights of my graphic novel collection in the past year, [...]

Jason Pittman was one of the creators to give us a free book at last year’s SPX–certainly the first free book we received by my recollection. He released some great looking stuff at SPX and we were thrilled to see him there again this year. So thrilled, in fact, that I decided to sit down [...]

Stan is a veteran journalist and amateur historian who just finished work on Taxes, the Tea Party and Those Revolting Rebels, a graphic history of the Boston Tea Party and the circumstances that led to it. It was an attempt, in his words, at a “bottom-up” narrative, focusing less on the famous movers and shakers [...]

Curvy is the story of an intrepid young girl who finds her way to a magic candy kingdom, facing down pirates, exploring the multiverse, and making new friends along the way. Curvy is not a story for kids. Indeed, Curvy is a sensationally NSFW story that centers around regular old human Anais and her black [...]

Tom Scioli comes off as a bit of a quiet guy, which as far as artists goes seems pretty normal. Still, once you find out what makes him tick he’s enjoyable to talk to and his artwork for American Barbarian, Godland and The Myth of 8-Opus is fantastic. The work he’s done and the work [...]

Alright I’m going to try to keep this short because I doubt any of you want to read a long review just so you can read an equally long (but far more interesting) interview so let me start by saying this: I would not be surprised at all if C. Spike Trotman and Diana Nock’s [...]

Ed Piskor’s recent body of work has interested me immensely since I first became familiar with it earlier last year. Wizzywig was a deft look at how a kid getting into trouble with a new hobby can quickly spiral out of control, especially during the dawn of cyber crime and how the law had no [...]

I’ve been following Jamie Noguchi’s work for some time now, and I reviewed Yellow Peril Comic this past year. He’s been working as an artist for a while now, and he recently began Super Art Fight, which has been popular all up and down the East Coast. Saturday night, right after a match, I got [...]

I think it would be fair to say Jim Rugg helped in some small way to set me down this weird path of writing about comic books.  He was one of my first guests on my college radio show where I interviewed comics creators, which might as well have been a precursor for what I [...]

Natalie Nourigant is one of those artists I’ve made a point to keep an eye out for ever since reading her book Between Gears, which collected her daily autobio strip about her last year in college. Despite not really being an Auto-bio guy I really dug the whole thing, not only because it showed how [...]
