Grilled ham and cheese is good, but I grew up eating a lot of grilled BOLOGNA & cheese sandwiches. Maybe it's because we were poor but now I love 'em!
"...and tend not to see my writing in their style."
This got me to thinking and I really believe that any artist that is really trying to make it should be able to adapt their art to what the story calls for. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean sacrificing your artistic integrity just to make it. It's more like bending your style. Honestly, I didn't naturally tend to draw like I did on Low Level before I started the book. I read the script, I talked to Josh about the characters/settings/attitude and mood of the book, then I kind of tweaked the way I draw to match. It's not a new style, just an alteration. Most of it consists of how I drew before. Ironically, the way I naturally draw now has taken on many of the traits that were added. I guess what I'm getting at is, don't necessarily count an artist out if he/she has the drive to make. An artist that really wants it will be flexible.
Oh, yeah. Just as a disclaimer: I was, by no means, trying to say that I'm some great artist or something, because I'm not (yet). This is the first book that I've successfully completed. I just referenced the situation because it's something that I've experienced first-hand and thought about a lot.
Kirkman's awesome.
Also, Josh, it's awesome that you used the phrase "halcyon days"
