Comics Confidential: Thirteen Graphic Novelists Talk Story, Craft, and Life Outside the Box
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
A must-have collection for comics fans and creators everywhere, packed with interviews and original comics by today's foremost graphic novelists.
Respected anthologist Leonard S. Marcus turns his literary microscope to the world of comics, which has lately morphed and matured at a furious pace. Powerful influences from manga to the movies to underground comix have influenced the thirteen artists and writers interviewed in these pages to create their own word-and-picture narratives. Here are their moving, funny, inspirational stories: true tales from the crucible of creative struggles that led each to become a master of one of today's most vibrant art forms. The book also contains an original graphic short on the common theme of "the city" from each of the artists, a mini-comic set in a cityscape of their choosing—present-day, historical, or imaginary.
Featuring interviews with:
Harry Bliss
Catia Chien
Geoffrey Hayes
Kazu Kibuishi
Hope Larson
Danica Novgorodoff
Matt Phelan
Dave Roman
Mark and Siena Cherson Siegel
James Sturm
Sara Varon
Gene Luen Yang

- bioText: Harry Bliss grew up in upstate New York in a family of successful painters and illustrators, so it wasn't any surprise that he, too, went on to study painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and illustration at the University of the Arts and Syracuse University. He has illustrated numerous book covers and is a cartoonist and cover artist for the New Yorker magazine. In the tradition of so many New Yorker cartoonists, Harry Bliss has illustrated several children's books, among them A Fine, Fine School by Sharon Creech, Which Would You Rather Be? by William Steig, and Countdown to Kindergarten by Alison McGhee.
