Cover stories

Comic Foundry is relaunching on April 3 as a monthly webzine chock-full of comics interviews, reviews and the like.
For the debut edition, I'll be contributing a lengthy Q&A with illustrator
James Jean focusing on -- you guessed it -- his Eisner and Harvey award-winning cover work on books like
Fables,
Green Arrow and
Batgirl.
In the interview, Jean discusses process, cover philosophy and the evolution of the
Fables "look," among other things. Interesting stuff, if I do say so myself.
If that goes over well, the plan (I think) is for me to contribute regular pieces on cover artists and designers. We'll see.
