This will be an area where I can shift the focus towards writers and artists, primarily those working professionally within the comic industry. Graphic novels and comic books are perhaps the last frontier for pure freedom and expression, flying under the radar of mass media regulations. An outlaw artform. Somewhere for thinkers and creators to go to push their own boundaries. Or just plain fun, depending on what you're looking for. There's something for everybody.
The first interviews of mine to show up at www.panelbound.com are the five that I did back in 2007 and 2008. Figured it'd be best to get those out to a fresh audience before cranking out some new ones. The following links down below are to those particular interviews. For the new interviews, check in with me at any of my areas online and of course over at Panel Bound.

Oh, and I have one interview that doesn't quite fit into any of the aforementioned brackets. So far, I've only interviewed one person who would be known more as a musician than anything else in their professional endeavors. Here's the information on that following piece.
