A week late, but look! Stuart Immonen Ultimate Spider-Man sketches!
No? Well, what about James Jean scary cats!
Um… Bryan Lee O’Malley gives you time-saving tips of the graphic novelist.
Okay, fine. You asked for it: Eddie Campbell gives you excerpts from Alan Moore’s script for From Hell (Parts one, two and three here):
I have always suspected that on this page, chapter 9 page 20, Alan was having a dig at my occasional skimping on the details. For instance, in an early chapter he asked me to draw, among various sights in a sordid street view, an alligator crawling in the stinking gutter. Feeling that I couldn’t pull this off with a note of authenticity, I just omitted it, confident that it wasn’t relevant to the proceedings. Alan managed to get his alligator in by another route, in chapter 6 page 22, when he has Abberline say: “I’ve seen it all, lad… alligators waddling through the shit in the gutters, albinos being led about on chains…” Since it was in the dialogue this time, I couldn’t leave it out.
Honestly, you people.
