From the Archives

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).
