You know, I really hate it when someone who’s unable to properly understand a bit of lousy research just good enough for a management magazine draws wild predictions for other areas from said research.

I heard him on NPR the other day. He sounds nuts, like he’s really living in the same world as Marv.

I could very well see him doing 300/Sin City type stuff with somebody else’s script. As an artist, he is still interesting, IMHO, but as a I writer, he’s just stuck in his hard-boiled mode, which has become both boring and embarrassing.

Thanks for your comment…

My post-mortem take on the study of hard drive inventors: Just how challenging and hard it is to create something as transcendent and enduring as From Hell (Moore, Campbell) or Sandman (Gaiman, McKean, Driggenberg, Jones III) as a team and doing in solo (Campbell and his classic Alec and Bacchus series), then staying fresh and vital as an artist (McKean’s Mirrormask comes to mind).

That quality exhibited by some in this industry is downright wonderful and, unfortunately, all too rare…

Thanks again,
