Fourteen of the most provocative, vital and boundary-breaking artists of today candidly discuss their lives, art and experiences, including Art Spiegelman (Maus), Dan Clowes (Eightball), Julie Doucet (Dirty Plotte), Chris Ware (ACME Novelty Library), Chester Brown (Yummy Fur), Aline Kominsky-Crumb (Weirdo), Ted Rall, and more!

Editor Juno (Angry Women in Rock, LJ 6/15/96) has compiled interviews with and samples from 14 leading comics artists, including Art Spiegelman (Maus), Diane Noomin (Twisted Sisters), and Anne Kominsky-Crumb (Weirdo), whose aesthetics and politics often diverge but who are linked together in their "subversive" use of a populist narrative form. A glance at the index reveals an intermingling of high and low, art and culture, sex and politics; citations range from Madame Bovary to Madame X, from Picasso to Pinocchio the Big Fag. The artists' investigations into their own work provide analysis in a field lacking in ample research and theory and reveal clues to material that is sometimes startlingly autobiographical. Each interview contains biographical data, numerous illustrations, and portraits. This often entertaining medium is revealed to contain many complex and provocative ideas, and the serious treatment it gets here makes this a worthwhile purchase for libraries collecting in popular culture and graphic art.?Heidi Martin Winston, NYPL
