On today's episode, I talk to Eisner Award-winning comics
creator Jeff Lemire. Originally from Woodslee, Ontario, Jeff wrote
and drew comics for years while working day jobs, until he
eventually self-published his book Lost Dogs in 2005. This led to
making Essex County for Top Shelf, and since then he's written and
drawn a veritable slew of fantastic comics, both creator-owned
works for publishers like Image and Dark Horse and for-hire books
for companies like Marvel, DC and Vertigo. This includes comics
like The Underwater Welder, Sweet Tooth, Animal Man, Extraordinary
X-Men, Descender and Ascender, Black Hammer, and Royal City. It
should be noted that this is just a small sampling of his work, and
currently, he is writing Little Monsters and Phantom Road for
Image.
