A statement such as this is an insult to every artist who has ever produced monthly books on schedule -- which, it should be pointed out, for most of the history of this industry was most of the artists. Late books used to be a rare exception, and when they happened, publishers apologised. Profusely. The "Dread Deadline Doom" was not something to which Marvel pointed with pride -- it was something about which they were embarassed, not something to be worn as a badge of honor. |

Yup. And Morrison is in a position of editorial and creative oversight at DC.

It's a dumb thing for Morrison to say. (English creators really don't
understand the U.S. comics industry, I guess.) But it won't stop me
from picking up ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, which I expect will be lots of fun.
(And I hadn't noticed Superman's crotch until it was pointed out. Thanks, really...)

Buscema did an issue of Howard the Duck once. I wonder what his feeling
was there. It's not exactly Conan, but it certainly wasn't a superhero book,
either.

"I think you're doing some mind-reading there."
Well Quietly isn't the one saying that, it's Morrison, so certainly I
shouldn't be accusing him of anything. But if Morrison is voicing what
Quietly believes privately, then that's really too bad for everyone.

One lingering question I have is why "Frank Quitely" uses a pen name on his
comic work, and how Vincent Deighan came up with the name.
Also, it's eerie how much Frank Quitely people look like Frank Quitely. I
know it's a common trait among comic artists, but it really does apply here:

Saying Frank Quitely's art is worth waiting for is not the same as
saying that anyone who can produce timely art is shit - not as good -
etc.

I'm not an art expert, but i love John Buscema's drawings. The fact that he didn't enjoy superheroes is surprising, because he sounds like someone from my grandpa's generation who lacks the imagination to appreciate them-which is obviously totally opposite to the truth.
However, the best thing I can say is I could never tell looking at his work that he didn;t enjoy them.
Anyone know whether his brother feels the same?

Morrison: Published monthly ? Oh hahahaha...
I’ve written three and a half issues and I’m in the middle of the Jimmy Olsen vs. Superman story for issue 4. I submitted the first script in August 2003. Frank started We3 in November 03 and poured so much heart and soul into it, Superman didn’t even get started until March 2005
********
Wow sounds like along lead time!

No "next issue" of a comic book is "worth the wait" if it can't come out on time. I realize that comic book writers and artists owe me nothing other than their best work, but when they fail to deliver that work on time, they don't deserve the money that I work hard to earn.
I can't imagine how my principal would react if I said, "You know, I'm sorry, but I just couldn't teach as much of the curriculum this year because I had to spend time with my wife and family." Actually, I can imagine his reaction: it would be pretty short and not so sweet.

Sergio's incredible. If you ever get the chance to see
him on a quick-draw panel at a comic convention,
clear your schedule and watch him mop the floor
with absolutely everyone.
---------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
I know what you mean. I bought a Groo trade for him, when I wanted him to sign Actions Speak ,
and he autographed both, and drew little sketches in less than a
minute, while I gushed about how much I enjoyed Groo #100 (the one
where Groo learned to read.) The sketches were great, and could've just
been a part of the book.
It was my favorite meeting with a pro.
