Interview: Alex Jansen, author of Kenk

May 4, 2010

Igor Kenk became one of Canada’s (and the world’s) most illustrious thieves when he was arrested for stealing nearly 3,000 bicycles in Toronto in2008. It was a strange case that immediately took fire and made Kenk a celebrity and antihero of sorts. It also inspired the beautifully depicted new graphic novel Kenk, by Alex Jansen (publisher of Pop Sandbox), Jason Gilmore, and Nick Marinkovich. The wildly inventive art style combines with the oddness of Kenk’s story (and Kenk himself) to create an intense and vivid portrait of a very interesting man. Already published in Canada, Kenk was named a Best Book of 2010 by Quill & Quire, Canada’s top literary magazine, and has been a bestseller in Canada. We talked to Jansen about creating the book.

Interview: William Ayers, author of To Teach: The Journey, in Comics

May 1, 2010

Ryan Alexander-Tanner is the artist behind Dr. William Ayers’ words in a new comic book called To Teach: The Journey, in Comics. A brilliant addition to the field of comic books and graphic novels, the collaboration between Ayers and Alexander-Tanner is magical and is surely one of the best comic works of the year. In my humble opinion, it’s mandatory reading for both in-service and pre-service teachers alike.
