COMICS ARTISTS/
GRAPHIC NOVELISTS

New in 2023: Check out these brand new interviews with daily punk comic strip artist Ben Snakepit, horror graphic novelist Corrine Halbert, Santos Sisters creators Greg & Fake, and Cola Pop Creemee's creator Desmond Reed.

Derf Backderf talks about his graphic novel about his famous-for-the-wrong-reasons high school friend, Jeffrey Dahmer.

Box Brown created graphic novels about pop culture pioneers like Andy Kaufman and Andrew the Giant and was gracious enough to talk to me about his process.

Jeffrey Brown makes killers robots downright adorable. I found out a bit about his influences that are not Star Wars.

Indie-comics-hero-turned-kids-comics-hero, Jef Czekaj, explains just how in the hell you pronounce his name (spoiler alert: it's check-eye).

I became aware of Simon Gane's work when we used to trade zines accross the pond way back in the day. I was finall able to track him down and interogate him.

Andrew Maclean sure knows how to lop a head off a gnarly troll-looking dude. Or, I should say, he knows how to draw a dude who knows hot to lop a head of a... you get the idea.

One of the masterminds behind the cult hit Henry and Glenn Forever comics, Tom Neely got plenty of love for other projects too.

Ed Piskor likes delving into the histroy of things like hacking and hip hop then doing creating graphic novels out of what he find.

Mimi Pond has been sending ripples and making waves in comics for about five decades now. I asked her about her recent autobiographical work.

The king of King-Cat Comics, John Porcellino talked about his long-running comic King-Cat, of course.

Jesse Reklaw and I go way back in the underground zine/comic publishing world and I finally got to ask him a bit about his backstory.

For a truly bizarre experience, check out Hans Rickheit comics. They'll make you feel a little weird in a really great way. I learned a little more about why that is.
