Patrick Kyle is a Toronto-based illustrator, comic book artist, self-publisher, and aspiring risograph master. His previous comic book series, Black Mass (Mother Books, 2012) and Distance Mover (Koyama Press, 2014), were nominated for Doug Wright and Ignatz awards, respectively, and his most recent publication Don’t Come in Here(Koyama Press, 2016) promises to do even better. In this first longform graphic novel, Kyle captures the strange, disorienting, and sometimes hallucinogenic realities of apartment living—realities we in Vancouver have come to know and love (or at least tolerate).
As Kyle geared up to head to the Toronto Comic Arts Festival—the next stop on his whirlwind North America book tour—we called him up to ask him all about Don’t Come in Here, old school printing techniques, and his upcoming event at Vancouver’s own Lucky’s Comics on May 19, 2016.
