Photoshop for old school comics artists

  • News
  • November 22, 2008

For a guy who wrote Iron Man, Mike Grell is a self-described Luddite, constantly at odds with technology. He once claimed he had a steam-driven fax machine. He was constantly amazed at the things I did to his art in Photoshop during my coloring stint on Jon Sable Freelance.

With that, I was amused that he sent me this:

grellphotoshop-5541834

He also sent a note: "SOMEONE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF TROUBLE – PROBABLY SOME POOR BASTARD OLD (!) ARTIST WHO SUDDENLY FOUND HIMSELF HAVING TO LEARN HOW TO USE A COMPUTER…"

Yes, he types all his email in capital letters. I told you.

Overheard at San Diego 2008, part 3: Warlord, Milestone, and S&M

manchesterhyatt-5228242Look, I’m not all that inconspicuous– I’m 6’6 with bushy hair and a ComicMix t-shirt. If you keep saying interesting things within earshot of me, it’s not my fault. (Okay, I have lots of spies and moles out there too, but that’s still no excuse.) So if you’re a famous comics writer who’s looking to hire a dominatrix while you’re in town, just use Google like the rest of us, okay?

First, the things where I’m completely removing the sources except that I heard them at the Manchester Hyatt, but expect to hear them confirmed at DC Nation panels before the weekend is through:

  • Mike Grell (Jon Sable Freelance) will be returning to his most famous creation at DC, The Warlord, in time for the character’s 35th anniversary. This from a Mike Grell panel on Friday from Mike Gold, who commented, "I haven’t worked for DC for years, what are they going to do to me for telling?"
     
  • Milestone is coming back, and will be (pardon the choice of words) integrated into the mainstream DC universe. How they’ll do this exactly is unclear, and we won’t commit potential spoilers by speculating… but there are a couple of ways they could do so.

And with those out of the way, back to the other tidbits overheard…
