Go, Read: Kurt Hassler Interview

I may be the last person doing comics news survey work to mention Brigid Alverson's interview with former Border's graphic novels buyer and now Hachette comics imprint Yen Press co-founder Kurt Hassler, mostly because I couldn't find an angle. It's a nice introduction to someone that comes across as a nice guy, one that enjoys comics beyond his public identity as a manga person.

Paranoid people out there might look at the list of kinds of comics the former most powerful man in North American manga says he reads and notice that art comics seems to be absent from that list, but I can't imagine too many people thought that Hassler and Rich Johnson were going to be publishing Saul Steinberg's diary comics or whatever in the first place.
