CONVERSATIONS WITH RICK VEITCH SC (C: 0-1-1) (SCHD: 6/18/2025)

From his roots in underground comics to his high-profile runs on mainstream characters, Rick Veitch (b. 1951) has carved out a career unlike anyone else's. Collecting thirteen interviews-including three published here for the first time-Conversations with Rick Veitch offers a wealth of insight not only into the development of Veitch's graphic innovations and metaphysical explorations, but also into the upheavals and transformations of American comics from the 1970s to today. Ranging across topics such as his early days at the Joe Kubert School, the controversial end of his Swamp Thing run, his muckraking work as a comics journalist, and his educational comics publishing venture, Eureka Comics, the interviews collected here reveal Veitch to be both a shrewd observer of the pitfalls of the marketplace and an eloquent spokesman for the boundless potential of creativity.
