Becky Dreistadt and Frank Gibson, whose new series Capture Creatures launches this week from kaBOOM!, discuss their creative process and show the stages of a single page, step by step.

In an interview on New Hampshire Public Radio, writer and editor Jason Rodriguez talks about the nonfiction comics anthology he edited, Colonial Comics: New England, 1620-1750.

Lots of recommendations are popping up on the internet lately. Right here at SLJ, Joy Fleishhacker looks at graphic novels that present first-hand accounts of life in wartime. Sean Edgar counts down ten great comics for adolescent girls at Paste, ranging from Adventure Time to Thor. And at Foreword, Allyce Amidon recommends three kids’ and YA graphic novels from small Koyama Press and Zest Publishing.
