Creator Q&A: Jeff Lemire

October 10th, 2007
Author JK Parkin

Occasional Superheroine chats with Jeff Lemire, creator of the Essex County graphic novels, the second of which is out now:

OS: “Tales From The Farm” seems to be a book about defining the real “heroes” in one’s life. What is your definition or example of a hero?

JL: Anyone who does what they love, and does it for their own sake, and not by anyone else’s agenda. Weather it be a musician, comic artist, athlete, doctor, plumber, farmer …whatever.

OS: Would you ever try your hand at drawing a mainstream superhero comic, given the opportunity? If so, which character would you like to draw?

JL: I would absolutely love to draw and write a mainstream comic for Marvel or DC. I would love to take a crack at Hellblazer, The Unknown Soldier, Green Lantern, Captain America. As I said, I love all the old silver and bronze age DC stuff.
