Tom Spurgeon interviews Eddie Campbell over at The Comics Reporter !

And here’s how Spurgeon introduces the piece, no less:

There’s no artist working in comics today whose body of work I admire more than Eddie Campbell’s. His books are among a handful that you can read at your lowest point of respect and regard for the medium and after closing the final page come out fighting for any and all things comics (although as he points out, Campbell may no longer join you on the front lines). He is also an underrated figure in industry history aside from his artistic contributions, putting out work in a variety of formats via small press outlets, alternative comics houses, independent publishers, self-publishing, and now the large publishing house First Second.
