The comics industry clearly wants to give me a heart attack this week. First, Mickey buys Marvel and the fanboys freak. Last Monday when the news broke, one of my buddies panicked and said: “With Disney calling the shots, I can see Marvel becoming a lot more watered-down. Well, I guess that takes care of [...]
Q & A with Charles P. Wilson III: Artist, The Stuff of Legend
Posted by: Maggie_C on: September 7, 2009
A few weeks ago, we picked up The Stuff of Legend on a whim. To our delight, this outstanding book has become a surprise hit; with many shops selling completely out of Issue #1, “The Dark”.

My friends will tell you, I can grow one hell of an Alan Moore beard. I love walking around shirtless while listening to Thin Lizzy’s “Emerald” on repeat. For every glass of water I drink, I have three glasses of beer. I have man hands and I have man feet and I have man junk. [...]
