Part 2 of Geoff’s discussion with Kevin Mutch about “The Moon Prince”, Kevin’s great, new all-ages fantasy-sci-fi-adventure from Fantagraphics!

17 years in the making, Kevin Mutch’s “The Moon Prince” is now the graphic novel of the season, a rollicking, all-ages fantasy-adventure story in the grand tradition of Jules Verne and Frank Herbert. Kevin joins Geoff to talk about the journey from his initial search through his old paperbacks in 2008 to find something for his kids to read to publication of this magnum opus almost two decades later.
