Description
Peter Kuper Conversations offers an intimate look at the life and work of one of America's leading cartoonists. Through ten lively interviews with Kuper himself, as well as four revealing conversations with underground comix legends R. Crumb, Vaughn Bodé, William Gaines, and Jack Kirby, this volume provides a unique insight into the world of graphic art. The book delves into topics such as creating graphic novels, world travels, teaching at Harvard University, Hollywood deal-making, climate change, and Kuper's own experiences in Mexico, where he drew inspiration for his 328-page Ruins. Most of these interviews are previously unpublished or long out of print, making this collection a valuable addition to any comic book enthusiast's library. With its unique blend of art, biography, and conversation, Peter Kuper Conversations is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the world of comics and graphic novels.
