Guiding hand: At Silver Bullet Comic Books, Tim O'Shea talks to AutobioGraphix editor Diana Schutz about developing the project and deciding the placement of stories by creators like Frank Miller, Will Eisner and Matt Wagner:
"It’s curious that reviews have both lauded and castigated me for story placement. Some people know exactly what I was thinking, and some don’t get it at all. It’s hardly a science!
"I knew I wanted to start with Frank’s 'Man With Pen in Head' — because it’s kind of a balls-out, in-your-face, very non-traditional approach to an autobiographical tale. About as far from navel-gazing as you can get! And I knew I wanted to end with Paul Hornschemeier’s deeply meditative and philosophical 'Of This Much We Are Certain' — which calls into question the very nature of truth, and so, thereby, the very nature of the anthology’s enterprise."
