If you ask my boys, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" the job GRAPHIC NOVELIST is at the top of their list. When we found out that one of our favorites, Chad Sell, grew up on our home state of Wisconsin, we reached out for an interview. Listen in as we ask him all sorts of questions about his creative process, his life as a Wisco-kid, and advice he has for kids wanting to follow in his career footsteps.
