I will say that I'm proud of my connection to DC comics because they are absolutely fabulous in sending reprint royalty checks.

I guess I could call them contemporaries or maybe close artists; you know, the 4 or 5 guys who go to New York City and get a loft and work together and use each other as models and that sort of thing and wait for years and years to get married. Maybe I just wasn't that definite.
