Go, Read: Adrian Tomine Interview At Comic Book Resources
I enjoyed
this piece by Jorge Khoury at one of the
Comic Book Resources-affiliated columns with Adrian Tomine, one of the better thinkers and talkers about comics that actually interviews relative rarely given his status in the field.
Like Sean T. Collins, I was interested in Tomine's attempt at a longer, stand-alone graphic novel that didn't work out; I don't feel the same regret that Collins initially does that the project was never completed. These kinds of things are pretty rare in comics, I think for the same reason you don't see a lot of heavily re-edited work: the labor involved fairly encourages completing what you start. I do remember that James Sturm talked in our before-CCS-happened interview (
TCJ #251) about doing a graphic novel featuring art-school students that I'm not sure is ever going to be finished, and there were pages or at least breakdowns done on that. For the most part, though, I'm drawing a blank.
