Publishers Weekly Profiles Matt Madden

A really great Matt Madden profile just appeared on Publishers Weekly. Here's just a taste:

"Ex Libris gives Madden the chance to experiment with art styles and genres to an even greater extent than in 99 Ways to Tell a Story. He’s especially proud of the four-page excerpt he created for Library of Terror, a pastiche of 1950s EC horror comics introduced by a cackling hostess called The Librarian. Other genres represented in Ex Libris include action manga, vintage comic strips, funny animals, superheroes, and an assortment of modern graphic novel styles."
