Jaime Hernandez Interview @ Graphic Novel Review
Author: Stephen Gerding
October 18th, 2004
Mark Frauenfelder has a nice, in-depth interview with Love and Rocketsco-creator, Jaime Hernandez, at Graphic Novel Review. One of these days, when I have the $$$, I’m gonna have to rectify the fact that I’ve only ever read bits and pieces of Los Bros. Hernandez’s opus.
When you started out doing these stories, I’m sure that you weren’t expecting them to be compiled in a big anthology. Do you think you would have done this differently if you would have done it as one big book?
I can’t work that far ahead in the future. My brother, Gilbert, can. He has stories going years down the road. I can’t think that far. I think more in hundred-page increments instead of 700 pages. Of course, I always dreamed that, “One day these will all be put together in one big book. One big novel.” But I can’t make myself do it like that, like, say, an artist like Seth who’s got his whole big book planned so it all has the same flow. And that’s fine for someone like him, because that’s his style. But I’d just bore myself to death if it was one length of 500 pages.
Read the entire thing for yourself here, and once they get the bandwidth/torrent issues sorted out, you’ll be able to download an MP3 of the unedited interview.
