I did a lot of inking in the 90s for Marvel and I made a lot photocopies! I inked issue 477 of the Mighty Thor with pencils by UK based artist Stewart Johnson. This was a really powerful splash page! Not any room for error on my part because the pencils were so tight. I enjoyed working on it and I inked some other books he did for Marvel.
Bloody Hell Don, I haven't seen that in years, especially the pencil version, which I hadn't seen since I put the original in a FedEx box almost 20 years ago! It was the first page ever drew for an American comicbook. I really liked the inks you did over my pencils, & I requested you as inker a lot more often than I actually got you... for whatever reason. Anyway, thanks for posting it, & it's good to see that these days you're doing much more stella work of your own, rather than simply making my hack pencils look good.. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey there Stewart! I am glad you liked the work. It's hard to know with you overseas! I loved doing it! I was able to do an Issue of 'Force Works' I remember, but I think I was all over the place at that time. As for work of my own, thanks. Let me know if you need an inker for whatever you have going on. I will be happy to assist. Hope this finds you well and thanks for checking my blog!
ReplyDeleteI believe there was an issue of War Machine which we worked on together too, Don. I did a Spider-Man mini for Marvel around that time & requested you as inker, but the editor (Eric Fein I believe) said that the position had already been filled, by Al Milgrom(if memory serves correctly).
ReplyDeleteI never did much work for Fein. I forgot about the War Machine job! Nice work on that.
