I have read this book and can see why someone referred to it
as “Comics 101” –background info on creators, how they got started, what tools
and even paper/board they use. Damn near
damaged my wrist because it is a BIG book. And who exactly is interviewed in
this book?
Karen Rubins -The Dark, The Witch and other books
Alan Class -the man behind the Class Comics series
Kate Glasheen
-the incredibly talented artist on Hybrid Bastards, Bandages and other works
Tom Pinchuck
-writer of Hybrid Bastards

Independents
Jon Haward -UK artist who worked of Tales of
the Buddha, Dan Dare and more
Ron Fortier -the man behind Mr Jig-Saw and Airstrip 27
books
Michael Cho -creator of Max Finder Mysteries and some
really cool art

Coat that was published by Ape Entertainment -Francavilla may be a name
familiar to DC and Marvel comic fans these days:
