Eric Moreno with ComicBloc conducted an extensive interview with DC’s Dan Didio that covers everything from his early work on Superboy to the publicity work he did for Quesada and Palmiotti’s Event Comics to when he started noticing the “craft” of comics:

Craft-wise? Well, my sister liked to write so I was always interested in writing because I used to always watch her and pay attention to what she was writing. I think instinctually, I always gravitated to writers before I gravitated to artists in buying comics. So that might have been one of the things I picked up craft-wise. I always say there were six writers that I would pretty much buy on a regular basis, then I would buy characters and artists after that.

ELM: Can you share with us who those six writers were?

DD: Umm, six guys: Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, Steve Englehart, Steve Gerber, Marv Wolfman and Len Wein.
