…And So Josh Tierney, whose fantasy inspired Anthology Spera is up for a n award for Best Publication for Teens concludes our Eisner creator interview series with his own unique response to our 5 question survey…

1. When were you first inspired to make comics and what book set you on the path to becoming a creator?

It’d be reading the early issues of Bone as a kid, and realizing how much heart comics can have.

2. If you weren’t making comics right now, what other occupation would you most like to see yourself in?

Novelist or screenwriter.

3. If you could have dinner with any other comic creator living or dead, who would it be and why?

I’d love a big group dinner with all the Spera collaborators I haven’t actually met in person yet.

4. If you could GIVE an Eisner award to another creator working today who would it be and why?

Giannis Milonogiannis for his efforts in bringing back cyberpunk comics.

5. If you do win, where are you going to keep the award?

Depending on how dangerous it is, somewhere where my daughter and cat can’t reach it.
