Marcus turns his literary microscope to the world of comics, which has lately morphed and matured at a furious pace. Powerful influences from manga to the movies to underground comix have influenced the thirteen artists and writers interviewed in these pages to create their own word-and-picture narratives. Here are their moving, funny, inspirational stories: true tales from the crucible of creative struggles that led each to become a master of one of today's most vibrant art forms. The book also contains an original graphic short on the common theme of \"the city\" from each of the artists, a mini-comic set in a cityscape of their choosing--present-day, historical, or imaginary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing interviews with: \u003cbr\u003eHarry Bliss\u003cbr\u003eCatia Chien\u003cbr\u003eGeoffrey Hayes\u003cbr\u003eKazu Kibuishi\u003cbr\u003eHope Larson\u003cbr\u003eDanica Novgorodoff\u003cbr\u003eMatt Phelan\u003cbr\u003eDave Roman\u003cbr\u003eMark and Siena Cherson Siegel\u003cbr\u003eJames Sturm\u003cbr\u003eSara Varon\u003cbr\u003eGene Luen Yang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard S.
