Go, Read: Two Unconventional Comics Interviews



* JT Dockery talks to the great Gary Panter about meeting and talking to Philip K. Dick. I love specific interviews like this one, and I love it when a comics character of the highest order like Dockery is encouraged to hold forth at length. The result is that Dockery creates a perfect context for the discussion, he lets you know why he cares so much about the subject matter, so you do, too.

* the Comics Journal presents a conversation between Gary Groth and the just-passed Irwin Hasen just as it happened back in 2013: loose, rambling, full of stage directions and digressions. lt's a nice insight into how Hasen's mind works but also provides a glimpse at how Groth was able to connect with so many great mainstream comic book makers of his father's generation: he spoke their language, did his research, knew their icons, ingratiated himself into however they liked to hold forth and within those parameters was free with his opinions in a way that sometimes supplied a much-needed spark. He's the best there's ever been at it.
