The Daily Cross Hatch as the first part of a multi-part interview with Exit Wounds author Rutu Modan up:
You were at Mad for a while.
Yeah…it’s really funny that people know that—I didn’t know that it would be so important in my biography. Here it sounds very impressive, but the truth is that it’s not really that impressive. It was in the middle of the 90s and Mad was over its peak, so they started selling rights all over the world to publish local editions. The format was supposed to be 75-percent American material, and 25-pecent original local material. I was just out of art school at the time, and the publisher suggested that I edit it.
Afterwards, we co-founded the comics group, Actus. The great side of it was that we could use any material from the history of Mad Magazine. We could use things from the 50s. We asked them to send a lot of old magazines, and we were reading them and choosing what we really liked for the magazine. It was a lot of fun.
