You mention the nuclear disaster film Fail-Safe as a major influence, and that’s something that comes out your work, in Mind’s Eye or The System where there’s a lot of social commentary. XG : What strikes me with your work is the - kind of a journalistic approach. So there’s immediate gratification but I want to tell a real story, most of the time, and that - that’s where comics excel. (laugh) The thing is, doing any kind of story takes weeks or months or years, while you can do an illustration in one day, and see it in the newspaper the next day. I enjoy illustrating, it’s a great way to - it’s more immediate. I mean, if I had to say where my heart lies, it’s in telling stories. Xavier Guilbert : Do you consider yourself more as a cartoonist or as an illustrator ? Living in Oaxaca (Mexico) since July 2006, his chronicles of the situation over there establish him as a unique witness. But from The System, an unique silent book published by DC Comics to his Mind’s Eye/ Eye of the Beholder series, Peter Kuper remains an author both audacious and outspoken. Splitting his carrier between comics and illustration, Peter Kuper’s productions are rather rare. ![]()
