New Inker for the JSA
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008
Well, I am more than a bit late in announcing this here. Newsarama already has me on the schedule: NEWSARAMA JSA NEWS LINK
But at all events, the good news is this: I am the new series inker on the JSA. Two things are extra special about this assignment: One, Dale Eaglesham is doing some of the most beautiful pencils I’ve ever had the chance to work on…And, Two, Alex Ross is involved in the crafting of the story, which is a follow-up of sorts to his brilliant Kingdom Come graphic novel. Kingdom Come is almost universally acknowledged as one of the finest pieces of fiction in the superhero genre and Alex is an old friend of mine. I’m impossibly lucky to be part of this team.
And for those who are wondering, I am getting to know Dale Eaglesham and he is more than a consummate professional at the top of his game…He’s a really nice and thoughtful person. I think you’ll be amazed at the work he is doing…I know I have been. The best thing about being an inker is getting to be so familiar with masterful artwork, to get to appreciate a penciler’s work in a unique way. I hope all the fans of the JSA and Kingdom Come get to read this series!
