THE DALY GRIND

Joe Daly interview by Sean O'Toole

Joe Daly is arguably South Africa's finest graphic novelist. His work has been recognised by a leading American publisher of the genre and, more recently, honoured with the jury prize at one of the world's largest comic-book festivals. But he is hardly known in his own country. This is partly due to the fact that Joe is reclusive, and so this interview by Sean O'Toole for Timeslive.co.za is a rare treat. In it Joe discusses the hardships of his trade, his latest work, what inspires him - and why he doesn't like to give interviews.
