A fantastic interview with Sol Brager by Tina Horn. From Craig Burscough’s weekly links in The Comics Journal:
Tina Horn interviews Sol Brager about Heavyweight: A Family Story of the Holocaust, Empire, and Memory, Auschwitz beach reads, keeping the book accessible, and fascist symbols and regalia – “Far too many comics writers treat artists as sub-contractors who are just producing their visions. Or aren’t thinking about the art as a crucial part of the meaning of the work, just as illustrations backing up the text. My training is in writing– I started out studying poetry and journalism and for a long time mostly produced academic writing. I taught myself how to draw and feel like I’m still learning how to make comics. The more comics I make, the more I find the words and images to be inseparable parts of one project.”
