I'm thinking to myself, I just love doing the art, it takes me a morning to do.

All that political stuff Delano was doing. Me, I've gone off the top, into total fantasy.

Eddie Campbell

They've got this house style which is writer driven. I heard of one person who sent his script in, and Karen Berger said there weren't enough words in it. Put some more in.

Eddie Campbell

It's not the last one. Five's out, six is coming out in November, that's a single chapter, and then seven is the big horrifying one. And I think a couple after that to wrap the thing up.

Eddie Campbell

There are a couple of things in there if we're constraining this discussion to horror here.

Dave Sim said in his latest thing of his, 'when you're on the right track, you'll know it, but until you get there, you have to believe you're on the right track'. Interesting little conundrum. It's not easy.
