In Comic Relief, Paste chats with its favorite writers and artists about the art that inspired them their own current projects. Jeff Lemire is a master of the quiet and calm.

In Lemire’s best moments, lonely and beautiful are usually one and the same. Over the phone, the acclaimed author is thankfully less reserved than his characters, riffing on his new books and the grocery store digests his... read more

Comic Relief with Mark Waid
In Comic Relief, Paste chats with some of the most influential writers and artists in comics about their work and the comics that inspired them. The first thing Mark Waid told me is that Joe Kubert is dead. I called Waid the morning after Kubert’s death, not realizing the legendary artist was gone, and immediately heard about both his passing and the crass obituary DC Comics initially posted on its website. That obituary disgusted Waid, but he didn’t sound shocked or surprised. He was clearly angry but also sounded almost amused at how a company he is currently at odds... read more
Comic Relief with Jeff Smith of RASL and Bone

This week features indie icon Jeff Smith, the writer and artist behind the epic Bone saga and hardboiled sci-fi thriller RASL, which concluded earlier this month. In early 2008, Smith pivoted from the whimsical, high-fantasy tone he’d established in his 55-issue Bone title to focus on an alcoholic, womanizing scientist named Rob who also happens to steal art from parallel dimensions. The wildly inventive, high concept RASL spun such influences... read more
