Links: Scott, Shaun, and Casper

August 3, 2009 by Brigid Alverson   Leave a Comment

I interviewed Scott Christian Sava, creator of The Dreamland Chronicles and a slew of graphic novels for kids, for the latest Graphic Novel Reporter.

Mitchell Jordan talks to Shaun Tan at Bookslut, and Michelle Pauli interviews him for The Guardian. (Via Journalista.)

There has been a lot of internet chat lately about hostility toward female fans, but Lori Henderson’s experience has been just the opposite.

Casper the Friendly Ghost is coming back in a new, updated version, along with his friends Hot Stuff the Little Devil and Wendy the Witch.

A new biography of Tintin creator Herge discusses criticism of racism and anti-Semitism in some of the early comics.

Tracy Edmunds alerts us to some math comics that look kind of fun at The Graphic Classroom.

I seldom link to scans_daily, but this post is too good to pass up: It’s two vintage stories from Bunty, a British girls’ comic that I grew up reading. Check it out to see what we Yanks were missing all those years.
