Over at his CBR column, Erik Larsen considers deadlines:
“I try — I really do — but if the choice is to have it look awful or great, I’ll go with great, or at least okay. I don’t want to become that guy. You know the one — that guy who’s lucky to draw an issue a year and who sweats every line because he knows that it will be his only book that year and the expectations are high so he’d better not blow it… I’ve pencilled books in a week. Several times, in fact. At one point I was doing “Spider-Man” and “Thor” and “Savage Dragon” simultaneously (I was writing and inking “Savage Dragon,” as well) and it’s a mad rush to be producing that kind of volume. It’s actually fun… But I’m a human being and sometimes human beings fail.”

I’ve got that issue of Spitfire McFarlane alledgedy drew in three days. It’s not bad at all.
In fact, you compare it to his Image Comics story…which took FOUR YEARS to draw…

That SPITFIRE issue is right up there with his GI JOE issue.
