Paul Kirchner

I had the pleasure of talking with Paul Kirchner about his work. It’s a really great conversation that covers a lot of breadth. His most recent release is collection of a range of his comics work called Awaiting the Collapse. French publisher, Tanibis, released it both in French and English. You can also find editions collecting his great the bus comic strip that was featured in the powerful early days of Heavy Metal Magazine. Probably the oddest entry in series of breakthrough work during that time in Heavy Metal, the bus has a great surreal quietness to it. Fantastic work. Paul’s work sits in a unique place in comics, bridging underground and overground traditions with an undercurrent of the greats like Wally Wood. You can buy Paul’s work directly from him on ebay.
