Upcoming Pixar has an interview up with Ted Mathot, Pixar artist by day and comic book creator by night. His Rose & Isabel comic is wonderful, and he’s currently working on a new one called Cora. He talks a lot about the process of creating comics, as well as some of his current favorites:
UP: What was your favourite comic book as a kid, and what is your favourite comic now?
TM: I was a Spiderman fan all the way.
I have a lot of favorite books now, but there isn’t really one that I could name as being the top favorite. I loved Hellboy when Mike Mignola was writing and drawing it; those are some of my favorite books of all time. I will buy anything that the Bros. Hernandez put out. Paul Pope’s stuff is really inspiring, as is Sam Hiti’s. I’m also into Gipi and Darwyn Cooke, and pretty much everything that Dave Stewart colors.
