Interview: Barry Deutsch

Eva Volin
June 22, 2011 By 2 Comments

On Sunday, May 8th, while attending the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, I ran around to as many of my favorite kids comics creators as I could and asked them all the exact same questions.  Keep in mind, conventions are crazy loud and crazy busy, so there is a lot of background noise.  Let me know in the comments if you have trouble hearing anything and I’ll translate for you.

We’ve gone a bit Hereville crazy here at School Library Journal.  It’s been discussed here and here and here, not to mention here.  I was lucky enough to be on a panel with Barry Deutsch, the creator of Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword, so I seized the moment, pulled Barry aside after the panel and asked him my Five Questions.
