I was born in 1976. The later years of the 1970s are all fuzzy. My childhood and growing up is of the 1980s. Full of dreams. My favorite comic book artists were Curt Swan, John Byrne, George Perez, John Buscema and Sal Buscema. John Byrne was truly influential on my artistic life. The movie that struck me as a child when I watched it on TV was SUPERMAN THE MOVIE. Errol Flynn, Christopher Reeve, Jeff Bridges were my movie star heroes. The TV shows that I'd love to watch were CHEERS, MOONLIGHTING, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, DUKES OF HAZZARD, BUCK ROGERS IN THE XXV CENTURY, KNIGHT RIDER, THE LOVE BOAT, FAME, HILL STREET BLUES. Growing up watching all the Hollywood's classic musicals, Westerns, Swashbuckler movies, Jerry Lewis movies (all re-runs of course), Jim Henson's Muppets. The saturday morning cartoons and the after classes cartoons such re-runs of SUPERMAN and SUPERBOY, HANNA BARBERA'S SUPERHEROES. And...the best comic books are those that I read through my child's mind that made them look so perfect back then and most of them proved to be so good that even today their the best to read, unsurpassed: everything from John Buscema, everything from Byrne from the 1980s ( I love his mid-1980s art style , still my favorite of him even today), Wonder Woman George Perez run is simply one of the most beautifully drawn comic book ever to grace the comics world.
The music playing on the radio was FAME, MOONLIGHT SHADOW, RUN TO YOU, AGAINST ALL ODDS, FLASHDANCE THEME, GLORY OF LOVE, IN THE AIR TONIGHT, WILD BOYS, EYE OF THE TIGER and BURNING HEART, ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE, THE NEVER ENDING STORY movie theme, EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME Cheers theme, SOMEWHERE OUT THERE, WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER HERO.
