I can’t think of a single cartoonist whose work I’ve watched progress
from such an early stage. And it was no doubt that exact drive to put
his stuff out in the world that helped Box Brown improve by leaps and
bounds, culminating with the forthcoming release of his first
full-length book, Andre the Giant: Life and Legend, which examines the
man behind one of professional wrestling’s largest legends. Brown
and I met up at a coffee shop next door to Locust Moon, my favorite
comic shop in Philadelphia. We discussed giving it all up to pursue your
dream — and, like zine publisher (and friend of Brown) Robert Newsome
before him, the cartoonist was more than happy to talk about his lifelong
love of professional wrestling with a podcast host who’s only just
beginning to familiarize himself with the subject.
