FOLLOWING CEREBUS #5
(Aug. 2005) Yet another 56-page giant! (If we keep doing this, we're going to go broke!) Cover-to-cover (almost) interviews with industry greats talking about how they do (or do not) consult with editors in the creation of their work. Maybe the topic sounds a little "dry," but you'll be surprised at the insights here! The issue starts out with a panel discussion at the 2004 Toronto Comicon featuring Will Eisner, Dave Sim, and Chester Brown. After that, Sim interviews Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller, Chester Brown, Craig Thompson, Paul Pope, Joe Matt, Andy Runton, and Seth individually! Plus: Sim's always-entertaining "About Last Issue" column and a great new cover. But really, with that line-up of interviews, what else do you really need?
