The Best of PCH – Episode 58: Blue Is The Warmest Color with Julie Maroh

Due to popular demand, we’ll be featuring The Best of Pop Culture Hound every second Sunday here at Multiversity Comics.

This week, we bring the world of comics and film together in this fascinating discussion with writer/artist Julie Maroh (Blue Is The Warmest Color, Skandalon).
 
You’ve probably heard of Julie’s book Le Bleu est une Couleur Chaude, which won the Fnac-SNCF Essential prize (as selected by the public) at the 2011 Angoulême International Comics Festival, and was translated into English as Blue Is The Warmest Colour by Arsenal Pulp Press.
 
We discuss how she got into comics, what it’s like to have such major success so early in your career, the perils and pitfalls of having your work developed in other media, what responsibilities she feels as a creator, and where she plans to take her career beyond Skandalon.
