Interview: Jacob Chabot

January 9, 2014 by Eva Volin   Leave a Comment

On Saturday, June 29, and Sunday, June 30, while attending the American Library Association’s Annual Conference in Chicago, IL, I ran around to as many of my favorite kids comics creators as I could and asked them all the exact same questions. Keep in mind, exhibit halls are crazy loud and crazy busy, so there is a lot of background noise. Let me know in the comments if you have trouble hearing anything and I’ll translate for you.

Jacob Chabot has done a bunch of really cool stuff. He’s worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He’s worked on X-Babies. He’s even worked on Viz’s Hello Kitty series. He’s been around, is what I’m saying. But my favorite book of his will always be The Mighty Skullboy Army. Always.
