(You may recall Justin from his Sign Game strips and/or the Sign Painters film.) As the title suggests, they were married to each other, with their relationship and individual perspectives on it creating much of the film's intrigue. on Vimeo.Contributors to the film include luminaries such as Robert Crumb and Art Spiegelman, who discuss the profound influence that Green and Tyler's comics had on them. And, for sign painting folk, there's a lovely segment with Green discussing his Sign Game series for Signs of the Times magazine, which he describes as some of his favourite work.I recommend setting aside a couple of hours this weekend to take a trip into Green and Tyler's minds, and to learn about the remarkable lives and work that emerged from them.Married to Comics is available via different streaming services.
