“I once had this idea that anything that was already in the world when you were born was okay, but anything that was invented or came up after you were born, you weren’t quite sure.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>The New World: Comics from Mauretania<\/a>\"\" collects what artist Chris Reynolds<\/a> describes as “Strange Adventure Stories About Dreams”. During TCAF 2018, we get into Chris’ amazing body of comics work, the roles of intuition and reason in his storytelling, his panic when another artist (Seth<\/a>) uncannily identified themes and threads<\/a> throughout his work, and his sense of letting go of his stories now that they’ve been collected by New York Review Comics. We also talk about nostalgia for a time before he was born, the notion of writing after the big event instead of the event itself, the allure of Cordwainer Smith’s stories, and the phenomenon of having a distinctly cult following for his work. Give it a listen!<\/a> And go buy The New World: Comics from Mauretania<\/a>\"\"!<\/p>\n

If you want more about Chris and Mauretania, listen to this TCAF 2018 panel with him and Seth<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n
