And I Was Going To Be Damned

The Comics I Read As A Kid Were All About Guys In Tights. But Here Was A Guy Who Wore A Fedora. He Fought Crime Like They Did In Marvel And Dc, But He Did It In The Real World. I Had Just Turned 12 When I Met The Spirit And It Was A Strange Coincidence. At The Same Time I Discovered Girls I Fell Out Of Love With Guys In Tights.

I Was Always Into Noir. When I Lived In Vermont I Was Drawing Stuff That Looked Like An Amateur Doing 'sin City'. When I First Got To New York I Was Swiftly Informed That They Only Did Guys In Tights.

It Is More Raw And Unfettered And I'm More Likely Going Into Something You Could Call Extreme Cartooning. There's A Lot Of That In The Course Of 'holy Terror.'

Think Of Me As The Weathered Sheriff Coming Back Into Dodge 'cause The Youngsters Are Shooting Up The Church And Scaring The Horses And Not Doing Right By The Women.

Superman Punched Out Hitler. So Did Captain America. That's One Of The Things They're There For.
