They really can tell a story. And their work doesn t go in an esoteric direction. And that s one thing that they have in common with your work in World War 3. It s meant to be accessible to a large audience. I think that in the 1970s, people got overwrought with techniques and airbrush.
Basic drawing is a lot more important than surface technique.
When Peter and I were working at Heavy Metal, back in the late 1970s, there were always these artists who would have a lot of airbrushing and didn t know how to draw or write. But they could do this really slick surface. I never liked those guys and Peter didn t either. That was something we shared, that aesthetic about a clear, direct drawing style that told a story. I know that James Romberger is now into straight comics, but he started out with us.
