Chester Brown on The AV Club

Chester Brown is one of my absolutely favourite comic artists. You can read a recent interview with him here. I wish that it had focused a little bit more on the work itself rather than politics, but it's still nice to see what he's up to. The image above is from the extraordinary series of strips based on the Gospels, which appeared in his titles Yummy Fur and Underwater 1987-97.

"Creativity can be the most horrible thing in the world. It's a piece of yourself that breaks off and wanders out into the world, where everyone else can see, on some level, who you really are."

That's a quote from an insightful (and melancholy) article about indpendent comic creators at the San Diego Comic-Con. It's by Todd VanDerWerff, at the AV Club. Go read it.
