Synopsis

Multiple Eisner Award-winning twins Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon tell readers about working together on graphic novels such as DeTales and Ursula, as well as collaborating with My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way on Umbrella Academy. Bible Fellowship creator Nicholas Gurewitch also gives readers the scoop on his BBC television pilot based on the strip and why he semi-retired it after its success on the web.

About this title

Review:

Lotsa good interviews in this issue... For me though, the meat of the issue is the wealth of daily Skippy strips by Percy Crosby reproduced in the gallery section. --Chris Mautner"

All my exploration of the Moon/Ba axis came out of reading their pretty great Comics Journal interview in [#298] . I love it when an interview is so well-done that it convinces me to sample writers and artists whose work I haven't read before. --Alan David Doane"

[The Trevor Von Eeden interview] is scandalous and provocative... [R.C. Harvey's "Comicopia" column] is both thoughtful and insightful, the kind of exceptional writing that would normally earn a magazine about comic books an Eisner Award....Grade: A-. --Leroy Douresseaux"
