Weirdly, I'm not a horror fan, but those kind of horror leanings are something that are very easy for me to get into.

Some guys can do digital things where they make some tricks work, but I work on paper and I work with washes. You can't just change things afterwards. You have to get it right on the page.

I personally got to draw a take on a character that I've had in my mind since I was a teenager. That was pretty sweet!

For me, I'm a fan of really dark, depressing stuff. Even something like The Wire, which can be hugely depressing and really serious, the bits I always remember are the jokes, you know?

There's a great line by Joss Whedon: "Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke." Even for a reader, there's only so much punishment they can take. You've got to give them a break here and there.

You get to play with shadow, mood, and tone. And this [Batman All-Stars] is such a moody story.
