Scott McCloud: Comics, Superpowers & "The Sculptor"

In "Understanding Comics" Scott McCloud made it cool to take comics seriously. Now the man hailed by graphic icons from Neil Gaiman to Alan Moore is back with a brand new graphic novel, five years in the making! "The Sculptor" reworks the classic tale of an artist willing to do anything to succeed, including making a deal with Death. Lynne Thomas, author of "Chicks Dig Comics," joins McCloud on the CHF stage to discuss life in and outside of comics.
