The two creators discussed how the project came together, the sort of work fans can expect to find in the anthology, and what it’s like making comics in Brazil.Rafael Grampá: It started when I met Eric [Reynolds]. Not personally, but through email. It was in 2018 when I suggested a Brazilian artist for him — Daniel Semanas, who made Roly Poly. I suggested this book to Eric. Eric liked that a lot, and he published it through Fantagraphics. We started to talk about making something together, but my schedule was already crazy at the time. But I always wanted to work with Fantagraphics because it was a big influence on me at the beginning of my career when I realized that I could be myself and publish with my own style because of the books that Fantagraphics used to publish, like Daniel Clowes, Adrian Tomine, [and] Robert Crumb.Related: Jamie Lee Curtis and Her Collaborators Explore Mother Nature’s Origins
