Art Spiegelman on Spain Rodriguez by Colin Dabkowski. Read the article and listen to the phone conversation at www.BuffaloNews.com.
Earlier this afternoon, I spoke with Art Spiegelman, the author of "Maus" among many other significant pieces of comics literature and illustration, about the death of his friend, the Buffalo-born comics artist Spain Rodriguez. An obituary will run tomorrow, but in the meantime, here is my conversation with Speigelman about the late artist's life, his unique spirit, and his contributions to underground comics.
