Do not miss a chance to talk with him at a convention.
Interview excerpted in Giant Size #1: The New SNIKT
Illustrator Herb Trimpe co-created Wolverine, and is often best-known for drawing the Hulk, but his personal fandom began with EC Comics, and, of all things, Donald Duck. Do not miss a chance to talk with him at a convention.
EC Comics is a brand best-known for horror, and a style quite unlike the superheroes Herb became famous for drawing.Carl Barks deserves his recognition as one of the greatest cartoonists in history, and not just for his signature work on Disney's "ducks" (including his creation of Scrooge McDuck).Herb particularly loves the work of Wally Wood, John Severin, and Jack Davis, the latter of whom once did a caricature of Herb in the style of his TV Guide cover art.Not only did he draw The Defenders, he thinks they were a more interesting subject than the X-Men.
