As a lifelong fan (and one-time collector) of comic art who regards Eric as arguably the finest illustrator of his generation, I leapt at the chance. Harold Schechter: There’s a simple answer to that: Eric contacted my agent to see if I’d be interested in collaborating with him. Thanks for taking the time to answer questions for us, Harold, and congratulations on your new graphic novel, Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? How did you get involved with this exciting collaboration with artist and co-writer Eric Powell? You can check out our full Q&A with Schechter below, and in case you missed it, check out preview pages and our previous Q&A with Powell. With Albatross Funnybooks releasing Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? in comic shops on August 11th and bookstores on August 24th, we caught up with Schechter in a new Q&A feature to discuss collaborating with Powell, what he hopes readers will take away from the graphic novel, and how his viewpoint on Gein has changed over the years. A prolific and legendary writer who has shed insights into the motives and mindsets behind some of the most unsettling true crime cases throughout history, author Harold Schechter ( Deviant, The Serial Killer Files, and many more true crime books) has teamed up with writer and illustrator Eric Powell to revisit and chronicle the life of Ed Gein in the new graphic novel Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?
