My book, Understanding Superhero Comic Books available at [ Ссылка ] & [ Ссылка ].
Mary Fleener is an American alternative comics artist, writer and musician. Fleener's drawing style, which she calls "Cubismo", derives from the cubist aesthetic and other
artistic traditions.
Alex Grand and co-host Jim Thompson interview comic cubist queen Mary Fleener from her early days as a teenager reading Zap Comix, her first comics in college, joining Weirdo Magazine under editors Peter Bagge, Robert Crumb and Aline Kominsky-Crumb, producing Slutburger, Drawn and Quarterly, and her graphic novels including Billie The Bee.
