Tom Spurgeon has a lengthy and fascinating conversation with Scott McCloud about the re-release of his classic series, Zot:
SPURGEON: Have you heard from anyone who’s picked this book up brand new and read it?
McCLOUD: Random people: reviewers, people that saw me talk and bought it and wrote me a couple of days later. One of my missions with this book was to erase some of the embarrassment I felt about this material. I could go back and fix the worst parts of it. When I hear back from people, people don’t just see it for its problems; they have a very balanced view of it. I haven’t yet heard the complaints I thought I would. “Oh yeah, Mr. Making Comics [laughs] you can’t do, so you teach.” I haven’t heard that.

it’ll be nice to finally read some of his early stuff.
