Something To Recommend The Book Seth: Conversations

I can't review Seth: Conversations. One of my interviews with the cartoonist is in the book -- at Seth's request. (I began to turn down these inquiries about two years ago as a matter of course, for personal reasons.)

What I feel might be worth noting for some of you out there is that the academic-market (mostly) book (which means it retails for 2-3 times as much as a mass-market book featuring the same material) has Dylan Williams' lengthy interview from Destroy All Comics in it, an interview that was both good and reasonably early in the artist's career. Destroy All Comics was one of many TCJ alternatives that popped up in the mid 1990s (others were Crash, Indy and The Staros Report). Jeff LeVine's Destroy All Comics was my favorite of that group, mostly for the idiosyncratic taste displayed by contributor Williams at a time when a lot of people had a hard time reconciling the craftspeople of a previous generation with the authors of the then-current. I'm glad this particular interview is getting out there and being circulated for another audience. Dylan was an interesting interviewer, and Seth is one of comics' all-time talkers.

You can read that interview here.
