COMIC BOOK RESOURCES Explores Chris Ware’s New BUILDING STORIES Graphic Novel
November 10th, 2012
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!
