High-Low and the Comics Reporter

Tom Spurgeon of the indispensible link & commentary blog The Comics Reporter interviewed me regarding ACME NOVELTY LIBRARY #19 as part of series of discussions about the emblematic comics of the decade. ACME #19 was my pick for best comic of 2008, and it will be a certain top 5 pick for best of the decade. Here's a link to the interview, and I'd like to publicly thank Tom for his kind words about me and the opportunity to think through his interesting and challenging questions.
