Chester Brown: Conversations by Dominick Grace, Eric Hoffman (Editors)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 4.1MB
Overview: The early 1980s saw a revolution in mainstream comics–in subject matter, artistic integrity, and creators’ rights–as new methods of publishing and distribution broadened the possibilities. Among those artists utilizing these new methods, Chester Brown (b. 1960) quickly developed a cult following due to the undeniable quality and originality of his Yummy Fur (1983-1994).
Chester Brown: Conversations collects interviews covering all facets of the cartoonist’s long career and includes several pieces from now-defunct periodicals and fanzines. Brown was among a new generation of artists whose work dealt with decidedly nonmainstream subjects. By the 1980s comics were, to quote a by-now well-worn phrase, “not just for kids anymore,” and subsequent censorious attacks by parents concerned about the more salacious material being published by the major publishers–subjects that routinely included adult language, realistic violence, drug use, and sexual content–began to roil the industry. Yummy Fur came of age during this storm and its often-offensive content, including dismembered, talking penises, led to controversy and censorship.
