Outside the Box: Interviews with Contemporary Cartoonists

A series of in-depth, book-length interviews conducted in comic form, Outside the Box captures the lives and creative processes of contemporary cartoonists through the unique lens of sequential art itself. Published by the University of Chicago Press since 2014, each volume pairs a single cartoonist with an interviewer who renders the conversation as a graphic narrative, offering an intimate, visually-driven portrait of the artist at work. The series stands out for turning the standard interview into a collaborative comic, making it a distinctive resource for understanding the craft and personalities behind modern comics.
