  • Keith Giffen 2006 Interview

    Park Cooper: You’re clearly a very busy man, what with BOOM as well as the DC/Marvel work…

    Keith Giffen: I try to fill the day, yes.

    PC: The cover of Jeremiah Harm announces that it’s “From Keith Giffen, the mind behind Marvel’s ANNIHILATION and DC’s 52!” That really interested me for a number of reasons…

    KG: A bit of overblown hyperbole there.  The big four are the minds behind 52.

    Author Interview: Steven Brust, Part TWO

    OKAY SO HI.

    You’ve probably noticed that I/we stopped sending these out every week. Yeah, we decided to move to a new format– they’re not going to be every week anymore– they’re going to be monthly… MOSTLY.

    HOWEVER! First we’re going to clear the decks as far as this Steven Brust interview goes! So here’s part two, and part three WILL be later this month, just to make room for other stuff! There’ll be one more thing this month, too, but MOSTLY it’s going to be a once-a-month update– the slight reversion to more-than-once-a-month this month is mostly just to finish what we started.
