Ed Brubaker (b. 1966) has emerged as one of the most popular,
significant figures in art comics since the 1990s. Most famous as
the man who killed Captain America in 2007, Brubaker's work on
company-owned properties such as Batman and Captain America and
creator-owned series like Criminal and Fatale live up to the usual
expectations for the superhero and crime genres. And yet, Brubaker
layers his stories with a keen self-awareness, applying his
expansive knowledge of American comic book history to invigorate
his work and challenge the dividing line between popular
entertainment and high art. This collection of interviews explores
the sophisticated artist's work, drawing upon the entire length of
the award-winning Brubaker's career. With his stints writing
Catwoman, Gotham Central, and Daredevil, Brubaker advanced the work
of crime comic book writers through superhero stories informed by
hard-boiled detective fiction and film noir. During his time on
Captain America and his series Sleeper and Incognito, Brubaker
revisited the conventions of the espionage thriller. With double
agents who lose themselves in their jobs, the stories expose the
arbitrary superhero standards of good and evil. In his series
Criminal, Brubaker offered complex crime stories and, with a clear
sense of the complicated lost world before the Comics Code,
rejected crusading critic Fredric Wertham's myth of the innocence
of early comics. Overall, Brubaker demonstrates his self-conscious
methodology in these often little-known and hard-to-find
interviews, worthwhile conversations in their own right as well as
objects of study for both scholars and researchers.
