Webcomics' Own Breath of the Dragon: An Interview with Merlin
|
Daniel "Merlin" Goodbrey has been skulking around the webcomics scene for years now, shamelessly exposing small gaggles of readers and creators alike to the wanton nakedness of his raw Imagination. While not a 'mainstream biggie' (yet), e-merl.com holds its own in any measuring contest when it comes to quality of writing and entertainment value, and leaves the pack behind when it comes to breaking new ground in our burgeoning digital field.
E-books Unbound: An interview with Aaron Thacker
|
The two brothers from Indiana who sell downloadable comic books in PDF through Unbound Comics are feeling positive over future prospects for their site – which they run together from a considerable distance from one another. But this physical distance between Aaron (who lives in San Francisco) and Matt Thacker (in Chicago) hasn’t limited their success with Unbound Comics, a site that offers new and out-of-print comic books in e-book format for nearly half the price of their print counterparts.
Cat Garza Chats With Scott "PvP" Kurtz (Part 1)

Dave Kelly and the Lizard: We're Not Living In Greytown Anymore
|
Professional cartoonist Dave Kelly may have a twisted sense of humor and a wacky animation style. He may be weird or even a genius. But maybe he's just a shy, private guy with a great sense of creativity. Any opinion may just suffice, depending on the particular side this 22-year-old decides to show.
"I like that people have a solid opinion of me, if it's good or bad or weird," Kelly says. "I don't want to be plain, normal and boring."
Plain, normal and boring may never describe this comic mastermind from West Philadelphia. Kelly is the author and artist of many Web comics, including the completed work (and probably his most renowned) Living In Greytown, a bizarre comic about a town with no exits and the many living beings that are stuck there.
