Peter Kuper (b. 1958), one of America's leading cartoonists, has
created work recognized around the world. His art has graced the
pages and covers of numerous magazines and newspapers, including
Time, Newsweek, the New Yorker, Harper's, Mother Jones, the
Progressive, the Nation, and the New York Times. He is also a
longtime contributor to Mad magazine, where he has been writing and
drawing Spy vs. Spy for nearly two decades. He is the cofounder and
coeditor of World War 3 Illustrated, the cutting-edge magazine
devoted to political graphic art. His graphic novels have explored
the medium from comics journalism and autobiography to fiction and
literary adaptations. Among the works examined herein are his books
The System, Sticks and Stones, Stop Forgetting to Remember, Diario
de Oaxaca, and adaptations of Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis and
Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. Kuper also discusses his recently
published opus, the 328-page Ruins, inspired by his experiences in
Oaxaca, Mexico. Along with two dozen black-and-white images, this
volume features ten lively, informative interviews with Kuper,
including a career-spanning lengthy new interview. The book also
includes a quartet of revealing interviews with underground comix
legends R. Crumb and Vaugh Bod?, Mad magazine publisher William
Gaines, and Jack Kirby, co-creator of mainstream superheroes from
the Avengers to the Fantastic Four. These interviews were conducted
by Kuper and fellow artist Seth Tobocman in the early 1970s, when
they were teenagers. Most of the interviews collected in this book
are either previously unpublished or long out of print, and they
address such varied topics as the nuts and bolts of creating
graphic novels, world travels, teaching at Harvard University,
Hollywood deal-making, climate change, Spy vs. Spy, New York City
in the 1970s and 1980s, Mad magazine, and World War 3 Illustrated.
