Of course everything Mr. Burns does is intense, but this dialogue between him, and the Reporter Emily Raine, really gets into the nuts and bolts of creating comic books. They discuss Art Styles, Plot Points, the History of Comics and the inspiration/influence of Herge’s Tintin Books on this trilogy. Yes, it’s cool!

COMIC BOOK RESOURCES recently posted a very interesting interview with Chris Ware. The topic? Ware’s latest Graphic Novel known as BUILDING STORIES. Published by Pantheon Books, this “book” has been touted as more of a “Book in a Box” by the New York Times. Most of the reason for that is because this product is made-up of many different components: Books, Booklets, Pamphlets, Posters, Maps, etc… all stored inside a “box”.

CBR Staff Writer, Alex Dueben, does an excellent job at asking the tough questions. Then Chris Ware, as always, answers in a most thought provoking way. It’s a great interview. Please go see for yourself, just CLICK HERE! ( Thanks Alex! ) Also, We wanna ask all the readers of this site to please share our posts on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere!

In the most recent issue of Publisher’s Weekly Magazine they do a cover story about the “Best Books of 2012″ and, because Pantheon Book’s “Building Stories” Graphic Novel made the list, they chose Chris Ware to illustrate the cover!

One important thing to notice about this magazine cover is that they have a brand-new logo and this is the very 1st time in their publishing history to feature a fresh one… that’s so cool!!

I hope they keep this new one, I completely love it! Down below is an example of the one they have had for a long time. Yeah, it’s iconic, but this new one is so modern & cool. Please keep it PW!!!
