Great article! I plan to make good use of it myself!
That’s all. I rarely do short posts, but I felt it was important to share this. Thank me later.

ADDENDUM!
I just saw this MTV interview with Grant Morrison, and I had to put it out for you. In my world, Morrison and Alan Moore stand in the same high esteem as my musical heroes Neil Young and Eric Clapton. Enjoy!

Here we have Tilt’s final design. When he made his appearance in Johnny Saturn no. 1, those massive shoulder shields had been reduced to a more manageable size, and their angle shifted from vertical to a 45 degree angle. I also threw out the armored gauntlets.

This is my first drawing of Triops, a character who will have a much bigger role in future stories. I’m not sure what I was aiming for with this sketch, but I knew one thing: he wasn’t human. Very little else has been established about him, beyond his psychic abilities and gate powers. He is named Triops because at the time Benita and I had a pet triops, sort of a primordial, three-eyed brine shrimp. Life is weird like that.

Hi, Folks:
If you are in your twenties or thirties, you might not be too aware of who Carmine Infantino is. He was the long time editor-in-chief and/or publisher of DC comics, but before that he was simply an outstanding artist. Here is a fantastic interview with Mr. Infantino.
By today’s overwrought standards, Carmine’s drawings may seem a bit quaint. But, upon closer inspection, you’ll find rock solid draftsman. His “Flash of Two Worlds” cover is still one of the most referenced comic covers in history.
As many of you know, I love Silver Age comics. Carmine Infantino may never have been a superstar artist, but as a publisher he had a profound impact on the comics industry.
My old friend Mike, who was very into Silver Age comics too, and I used to discuss the merits and perceived failings of artists like Carmine Infantino, Don Heck, Sal Buscema, and other of the workhorse artists. Mike has been gone for a few years now, but I still remember the passionate fanboy arguments and the laughing that went them. Good times.
Carmine says this will be his last interview. While not unexpected, this does sadden me a bit. Heroes should never get older.
Scott.

My first and only developmental drawing (a watercolor, no less) of Zeitgeist, the world’s spirit. Zeitgeist survived the War in Heaven, but her injuries were such that she wasn’t able to return to Squadron Premiere duty. Her floating ankh is the source of her power.
