Professor M. Thomas Inge

10/31/12

Randolph-Macon College Humanities Professor M. Thomas Inge was recently interviewed via Skype by Bob Andelman, the host and producer of Mr. Media Interviews. Inge talked about Will Eisner: Conversations (University Press of Mississippi, 2011), which he edited. The book is a collection of interviews with the master comic-book artist and creator of the graphic novel.

“The book celebrates the life and work of a master storyteller and graphic artist who brought the comic book to new and distinguished heights in American culture,” says Inge. “I came to know him as a friend and mentor, and these interviews published over the last 40 years of his life reveal him to be a man of great ambition and creative passion.”
