(Apparently, indy/alternative comic creators don’t qualify as “Modern Masters”, so they get this title. I kid.) First up, Peter Bagge (due in July). Editor Christopher Irving describes it as follows: “COMICS INTROSPECTIVE conveys what it’s like to hang out with an indy comics talent. … It’s done with a combination of original photography, multiple art gallery sections, and an introspective dialogue with each subject. Don’t expect a standard retrospective interview with these folks: these are in-depth, casual, yet often hard-hitting conversations that just happen to be documented in book form…. Too often, people are interviewed about what they’ve done, as opposed to who they are and why they’ve approached their careers and craft the way they have… as well as their theories about the comic book artform. … What I’m going for with COMICS INTROSPECTIVE is a real look inside the minds of these creators so that we can better understand where they’re coming from. Think of it as the book equivalent of kickin’ it at a bar with the likes of Peter Bagge or Dean Haspiel for a few hours.” [...] [...] TwoMorrows has announced a new book series, Comics Introspective.
