Howard Chaykin's Life in Comic Books
Howard Chaykin has earned a reputation as a visionary formal innovator and a compelling storyteller whose comics offer both pulp-adventure thrills and thoughtful engagement with real-world politics and culture. His body of work is defined by the belief that comics can be a vehicle for sophisticated adult entertainment and for narratives that utilize the medium's unique properties to explore serious themes with intelligence and wit. Join Brannon Costello as he engages Mr. Chaykin, one of the most distinctive voices in mainstream comics since the 1970s, in a discussion of his life and work.Pens and Pistols: A Roundtable featuring today’s Crime Comic All-Stars
