Non-Fiction
Graphic Biographies
These illustrated volumes shine a light on two notable mid-century figures: Joe Shuster, the artist behind Superman, and Joel Kupperman, Quiz Kid, and writer and artist Michael Kupperman's father
Moderated by Michael Cavna.

Michael Kupperman
Michael Kupperman’s comic drawings and strips have appeared in dozens of publications and websites, including The New Yorker, Fortune, The New York Times, Nickelodeon Magazine, Forbes, Fast Company, Esquire, Heavy Metal, Vice and McSweeney’s; comic books for DC, Marvel and others; and been collected in multiple books, including five of his own. They’ve also been animated for Saturday Night Live, Adult Swim, and Comedy Central. Conan O’Brian described him as “probably one of the greatest comedy brains on the planet.” “All The Answers” is his first serious book. Michael lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., with his wife, Muire, and son, Ulysses.

Julian Voloj
Julian Voloj is an award-winning author who specializes in non-fiction graphic novels and literary adaptations. His graphic novel “Ghetto Brother” (NBM, 2015) was named Booklist’s ‘Best Non-fiction Book of 2015’ and praised by Junot Diaz in The New York Times as “superb” and “a gem.” His new book, “The Joe Shuster Story,” focuses on the life and struggles of the Superman co-creator. He lives with his wife Lisa and sons Leon and Simon in New York City’s borough of Queens, not far from Joe Shuster’s 1970s residence.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
