Barry Windsor-Smith

Post by Ladakh »

I assume you guys think I should continue pestering him for his day in the sun in 2017??

I got BWS to attend my comic book con and I got them to publish a letter in his magazine-sized "Storyteller" series.

I would rather insist he gives us his 15 minutes over nothing. And I am not looking for BWS dirt- I want to honor the man, not landscape.

Is anyone else on board with me?

I'd love to hear from BWS. :thumb: Solar Alpha and Omega is definately in my top 10 all-time. Weapon X is my favorite Wolverine story. However, I'd prefer to see the man left alone if that's what he wants.
Muse Rocks! Check out “The Handler”.

I think its a great idea but don't pester the guy and try pleading rather than insisting. Tell him the board doesn't wanna make him rehash or rebut any of the bad blood stuff with Valiant (unless he wants to) -- that we merely want to pay homage and ask him questions about his work and his career.

Maybe Greg can attend and delete posts that run afoul of those ground rules.
