Biopics on Bristol: The World of Biographical & Autobiographical Comics
Arizona O’Neill, Cole Degenstein, Maureen Burdock, and Emily Yoshimoto, with translator Jocelyne Allen, speak with Megan Halsband about what drew them to share their stories through the comic medium. They discuss whether they keep journals, how they make their books, their creative process, and the pages, pens, and other tools they use.
The conversation also covers what is next for them, their paths to becoming comic artists, making time for their art, memory, experiences and inaccuracies in autobiographical work, and how they protect themselves when revisiting traumatic parts of their stories.
