Title: Confusion amuck with writers.
Post by: ShinDangaioh on December 01, 2006, 05:18:26 PM
John Byrne is stuck in the original view

Alan Moore is stuck in the 60's view

Alex Ross is stuck in  the 70's view.

I wonder what would happen if DC put them on the same team to write about Superman.

which one?  ;)

Both Alex and John have huge egos, the only different is that only one of them is a jerk about it.

Does Alex Ross have a big ego? I'm asking because I don't know, I don't think I've ever read an interview with him. In fact, I don't know anything about him beyond the fact that I feel guilty about liking his work.

I'm guessing Alan Moore has a bit of an ego, too... or maybe not so much an ego as a towering presence.

Neal Adams also has a HUGE ego and he a complete jerk in real life.

Alex Ross, maybe I was a bit unfair, he is more outspoken and opinionated than anything else really. He seems like a really swell guy, and in fact gives away lots of his artwork for Charity auctions.

So I will be happy to take that comment back.

John Byrne is actually stuck in a stupid view that is very far from the original, no matter what he says.

OK, what is that picture really from, and why is Darth Vader in it?

Ahhhhhh, runs from creepy Alan Moore painting


Several years ago, a friend of mine attended a show where Alex Ross was a guest. He was a pretty cool guy. However, later on, Ross reamed Tony Harris? about Harris' work in front of attendees. I guess it was pretty harsh.

FWIW, it's from a Wizard cover with Alex Ross doing Alan Moore characters.  Note the absence of Byrne...  that's how I think it'd play out if you jammed those three together "for real".  :)

That's a funny painting, with Superman and Supreme doing a waltz.
