These participants are authors and publishers and their work is publicly recognised in the comics community.The dataset has been deposited in the Open Health Data Dataverse repository as a zipped folder containing 15 individual simple text files corresponding to each interview and a ReadMe file containing contextual information and other metadata. An initial domain analysis of the interviews was published as Farthing, A., & Priego, E.
