Margaret Cross was a big supporter of the Sketch-a-day in the early days of the 1st year I attempted it, and I’ll never forget that. I offered her a request, and she issued a challenge. Ambush Bug in a Mike Mignola-esque style.
Accepted. Achieved? Nope.
Now I’m just thinking about how Keith Giffen – creator of Ambush Bug – and Mike Mignola – creator of an entire style – both worship at the Altar of The King, and both came away with completely distinct and disparate styles at how they do comics.
It’s a lot to take in.
