About this episode
May 6, 2010 - Joe Kubert, creator of our Book of the Month for May, Dong Xoai, Vietnam 1965, has been working in comics since before his voice changed. He's seen the industry in all its various forms, writing and drawing comics like Tor and Our Army at War, with Sgt. Rock. More recently, he found acclaim with his graphic novels Fax from Sarajevo and Yossel: April, 19, 1943. He also started the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art to train young comics artists for work in the world comics. Today, at 83 years old, he's still working, still drawing, and knows how lucky he is for it. Josh Flanagan had a conversation with Joe about his career and his new graphic novel. If this doesn't make you love comics, then nothing will. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
