Exclusive Interview: Small Favors Writer, Artist Colleen Coover

 

Seventeen years after was first released, Colleen Coover’s sex-positive lesbian comic Small Favors is being celebrated with Small Favors The Definitive Girly Porno Collection (hardcover), which not only includes the comics from both released volumes of Small Favors, but a previously uncollected color special and other fun stuff as well. In the following interview, Coover talks about how the comic initially came together, how this collection came to be, and why no, she’s not going to be writing any more Small Favors.

Exclusive Interview: Roughneck Author, Artist Jeff Lemire

Depending on which aisle of the comic book store you frequent most, you probably know writer and artist Jeff Lemire for such super heroic books as Hawkeye: Hawkeyes or Moon Knight: Lunatic, for his ongoing sci-fi series Descender, or for such real-world stories as Essex County. It is in the latter section that we find his new graphic novel Roughneck (hardcover, digital), an emotional story of a man whose glory days are behind him.

Exclusive Interview: “Becoming Unbecoming” Author Una

 

Some of the best art comes from when we explore difficult subjects. It’s something I thought about a lot when editing the following interview with Una, the writer and artist of the graphic novel memoir Becoming Unbecoming (paperback, digital), in which she explores the serial murders committed in the late-’70s by Peter Sutcliffe as a way to explore her experiences with sexualized violence. Especially since, according to UN Women, 35% of women worldwide have experienced, “either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or sexual violence by a non-partner at some point in their lives.” Though in talking to Una about the book, it was interesting — but not the least bit surprising — to learn that it wasn’t as much about Sutcliffe as you might expect.
