Comics Journal interviews Gene Deitch
August 1, 2008 12:05 am
I picked up the latest Comics Journal (October 2008, No. 292) at the Comic Con last week and it’s essentially a book length interview (well over 150 pages) with the Deitch family – writer Seth, artists Simon and Kim and their dad, animator Gene Deitch. Gene’s interview reveals additional information about his career at UPA and Terrytoons not included in his online book. A must-read. Should be at your comics shop this week, or from Fantagraphics Books. |

Kim Deitch is one of the most important authors in the american independent comics scene, sadly, just a little group of people know it
The Deitches are America’s greatest contribution to world culture.
…Okay, I can’t back that up, but that sounds like a phenomenal issue.
I did a film with Kim a couple years ago.
Lovely, lovely man. Wonderful to work with.

Simon worked for Noyes and Laybourne at one time as well.
Noyes? You mean Phil Noyes?
Eli Noyes and Kit Laybourne had a shop in New York in the 80s. They’re biggest production was Eureeka’s Castle for Nickelodeon. The did a lot of interstitials for Nick as well (for obvious reasons).
Eli is the son the great industrial designer Eliot Noyes.
