Conducted the morning after their elaborately themed wedding at Atlanta's Dixie Trek convention, this wide-ranging interview covers the history of MICRA from its origins as a prose novel and rejected graphic-novel proposal to its eventual publication through Comics Interview Publications. Waldron discusses his background in adolescent psychology and his twelve years running the Atlanta Fantasy Fair, where he cultivated relationships with figures like Stan Lee, Jim Steranko, and Forrest Ackerman. Barrows describes her journey from graphic designer to letterer and editor on MICRA; both discuss MICRA's science-fiction themes — a domed future society where economic inequality is a central concern — and Waldron outlines plans for a follow-up 12-issue series and a possible prose novel adaptation.
