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, the New Yorker, Mother Jones, 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. Along with two dozen
images, this volume features ten lively, informative interviews
with Kuper. The book also includes a quartet of revealing
interviews with underground comix legends R. Crumb and Vaughn Bode,
Mad magazine publisher William Gaines, and Jack Kirby, co-creator
of mainstream superheroes from the Avengers to the Fantastic Four.
These were conducted by Kuper and fellow artist Seth Tobocman in
the early 1970s, when they were teenagers. Kuper's graphic novels
have explored the medium from comics journalism and autobiography
to fiction and literary adaptation. 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collected in this book are either previously unpublished or long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. 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. This book is the 2016 Eisner Award Winner for Best
Graphic Album.
