Congrats on the 'Too Cool to be Forgotten' film having found it's screenwriters. Can you share some thoughts on this project? Will you have a hand in it as it moves forward? Does other film work (storyboards, directing, screenwriting, etc) hold any intere

Thanks! We're all very excited about it around here. As far as I know I won't have much input with the project, which is how I prefer it. While I love the idea of other people adapting my work I don't think I have the temperament or constitution to handle movie making. One big reason comics appeal to me is that one person can produce whatever story they like with no compromises or interference by sponsors, studio heads, focus groups, etc. If you're willing to put in the time you can tell whatever story you like

I am excited to see how the movie develops and will be curious to see what changes they make to the story, though it's not without its risks: I'm sure they'll wind up making some choices that will have me kicking myself for not having thought of them first.

What book would you give to a person who has never read comics (or says they don't like comics) to prove to them just how awesome comics can be? Watchmen is pretty dark, full of rape and murder. The nudity in Blankets has been known to offend. Even Bone tu

This is kind of tough. Most of the comics I enjoy usually have some degree of sex, violence or profanity to them so coming up with some kind of all-purpose recommended list is a challenge. Here are some comics off the top of my head which I would suggest that—as near as I recall—don't have any objectionable content. 

Guy Delisle's travelogues like Pyonyang are fascinating reading. 
Big Questions by Anders Nilson
I love Acme Novelty Library by Chris Ware but I don't think it's good for new comics readers.  
Little Nothings by Lewis Trondheim 
Hicksville by Dylan Horrocks
Castle Waiting by Linda Medley
Lynda Barry's comics
Cynical Man by Matt Feazell
Fables by Bill Willingham. 

I'm sure I can think of more but this is a start. Anyone else have something they want to suggest?
