AS PART OF Word Vancouver’s annual, and now online, celebration of the written word, Kyle Hawke hosts a conversation with two comic collaborators who have brought their genius to publications from MAD Magazine to the New Yorker. What makes their creative process all the more challenging is that they’re partners in life as well as work.

Guerra is a Canadian comic-book artist and cartoonist who’s made a name as penciller and co-creator of Vertigo's Y - The Last Man with writer Brian K. Vaughan. Added cred: she’s lent her artistic vision to Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror Comics. ”
Janet Smith is an award-winning arts journalist who has spent more than two decades immersed in Vancouver’s dance, screen, design, theatre, music, opera, and gallery scenes. She sits on the Vancouver Film Critics’ Circle.
