But WildStar was one of my favorites...I always wanted more. Well, cool. Yea... I guess we were a little ahead of our time. It's an internet sorta thing. I wish we coulda done a bunch more. I had plotted it out through about 20 issues, plus a set of 4 or so zero issues (WildStar Sky Zero Zero)... but we were losing $ fast because the industry was collapsing... too bad. but thanx again, sir, ~albabe

One of your "Inking Heroes???" Dude... you need to lay off the hard stuff, bud! (kidding).

Thanx a bunch. It’s always nice to hear that someone actually paid attention to the inker... these days with all the over-coloring I can't even see the inker.

best dishes and good luck in the funny books!

[ Posted by Al_Nickerson on Jan 19th, 2007 11:05 PM ]... But, I like the hard stuff. :) Al, your inking on Fantastic Four, Justice League, and Superman/Savage Dragon was amazing! I’ve always felt that inkers were often overlooked… even more so now-a-days. Best wishes to you, too, Al! :)

[ Posted by al_gordon on Jan 23rd, 2007 6:50 PM ]... Thanx for the compliments! And I agree... Inkers have always been overlooked... even by guys who I figured were smarter than that (like Kevin Smith... although... maybe he was trying to be funny. I know I laughed... even after I started getting approached at conventions with the same rhetoric). Since I was 10, I knew why Kirby looked better when Sinnot Inked him rather than other less interesting inkers... and I always figured if anyone was paying attention, that they should notice too. Years later I found out that it's the letterers that were cleaning up - and I don't mean the borders with a kneaded eraser. They get more for their time than any other contingent of comic book making (except bad writers). Thanx again, ~albabe

	[ Posted by al_gordon on Jan 14th, 2007 2:35 PM ]... Dave's a very nice chap... I haven't seem him in a year or two, but whenever I do, he always has something funny and/or intellegent to say.

I'll be updating my icon to whatever book I'll be reviewing next. Feel free to check out the site. Thanks for the add. I especially enjoyed your work on JLI and Fantastic Four, by the way, and thanks for signing some of my books at Super-Con last year. Steve Chung

Thanx for the comment. I just discovered this place a few hours ago. As for "brushin'": Not doing too much these days (no one really calls... sigh... I do miss it). Moderating a WorkShop here in SF Ca.... and doing lotsa Writing... hopefully more Voice-Over stuff too... and more-hopefully, stuff that pays actual money, as opposed to food stamps and promises.

Be tall and lean and cool, kiddo,
