Artist's Comments

This was my first spread. It features both myself (long hair, chin beard, bottom left) and inker Robin Riggs (short spiky balding head just behind me) amongst the combatants. I was really going for that BWS symbolism thing and trying to be creative with my layouts. Gary Frank had been so successful in his run, I was determined to be fresh and different, not just tread the same path. As a result a great many Hulk fans actively hated my work, even petitioning that I should be kicked off the book for various misdemeanors I was entirely (and blissfully) unaware of at the time! It's AMAZING how angry people get! It's just a comic! I was doing my best! LOL! :)

Incredible work. Comic obsessives need to learn to welcome change eh?

Man, fandom is never something you can second-guess. You just have to do your best, I think, and if it sticks it sticks!

Thanks, and very best,

Liam.

I for one loved the stuff you did on the hulk. Your style was totally different from Gary Franks stuff and gave the book a darker, harder edge to it. I think that a script can take on a whole new angle with a differing artstyle on it.

I look back at your art from back whence and it reminds me how much of the energy and individuality has disapeared form some of the modern comics. Not to take anytrhing away from current Hulk artist Ed McG but your take oon the Green Goliath(getting a bit fanboyish) has only ever been suprassed by Keown.

That's a shame. I loved what you did in your all too brief run on the Hulk. I've always liked the idea of a new direction on a book being reflected in the art.

I have to say the cover you did for Hulk 426 is probably one of my all time favourite covers.

Thanks man.

Was that the Manthing cover? That's my favourite - with Paul Neary inks. :)

Take care,

Liam.

The detailing of these pages were just amazing (...hand...cramping...) I'm sure that 90% of the naysayers had no life... yes it's true that you must please the masses in this type of situation, bet sometimes if you are on the cutting edge you get pushed back
