Editor Diana interviewed

Post by Stan Sakai »

Here is a great interview/profile of Editor Diana. She even mentions me a couple of times by name, and not just "high maintenance creator".

thank you very much for posting this stan!I just read through it in one sitting;)last night I already discovered this link but couldn't hold my eyes from closing...there should be so much more articles and books floating around about people working in this industry in my oppinion...whenever I stumble over text like this I wonder how many more great tales are lying around untold that could help bring in more interested new artists to go into comic book projects...

Great interview with Diana!

The comics Journal has always been a great source for reading and learning about the people behind the comics, both on the creation and publication side of the industry.

The first issue of The Comics Journal I ever bought was for this interview with Sergio Aragones, currently available on the TCJ web-site....

That was a really good interview with Diana. I honestly think it is the sort of job I would relish doing, but at my age, and having to work from the bottom upwards, it's probably a bit too late :P

thanks for that!
I seem to have read this interview however, I think in the usagi yojimbo special edition, n'est-ce pas?....I could be wrong though not having enough time right now to read the full interview, stan I noticed a while ago gives prffesional answers so if a question goes in a specific direction he might have already some text to say that he has thought out in advance...
any chance of one of the others?

abayo!
