No true fan wants to go to Comic-Con and get assaulted with a marketing blitz about just any old show.

Creating and producing creative work, to me those are all happy accidents.

I'm really trying to focus on the storytelling, more so than ever before I think, partly because it makes for easier pages.

I really want to try to explore the characters from angles you've never seen and keep them classic and iconic.

One of the most difficult things for any artist to do is create a world that looks both completely alien yet real and possible.

As an artist, as I design and lay out a page, the less-important things, things I want you to spend less time looking at, I draw them very small, maybe even silhouette them. The more-important pivotal scenes, I draw them larger, maybe even a double-page spread.

Al Plastino helped redefine Superman in the 1950s. His work on Supermans Girlfriend, Lois Lane, Adventure Comics and pretty much any title in the Superman family will be fondly remembered for years to come. He will be missed.
