Steven Sanders Is Awesome
When I joined on at The Weekly Crisis they mentioned that they would like to do some interviews. I said I had DM’d Steven Sanders (the famed artist of recently cancelled S.W.O.R.D. fame) and brashfully said I’d be able to pull an interview with him. They were bold words but I wouldn’t to look like a big shot to all my new friends in the school yard. I put it out there but then I had to follow it up. So I gave it a shot, and after Mr Sanders having helped me out with a few other questions before I thought he’d be okay with it. I asked for the interview, and shockingly got it.
What follows through this banner/link is a discussion that Steven Sanders and I had about comics. Enjoy.
To give some background; I tried to think of cool and different interview article names and the one that pretty quickly came to me was the Fireside Chat. It’s informal, it’s fun, it’s most certainly, I hope, different. I thought I’d fly the flag and see who saluted. The lads were fine with it, so then I moved onto format. I wanted questions, yeah, obviously, but I wanted some different touches too. I added the Literary Rorschach Test at the end to sort of send a few curve balls out and see what happened. I like some of Mr Sanders’ answers. A man can say a lot by how he reacts quickly and to the point. I think it all went well.
Lastly, I have to say, Mr Sanders was a complete gentleman about it all. He didn’t mind follow up emails, he didn’t mind me sitting outside his window to observe him in his natural habitat, and he most certainly didn’t mind hugging it out at the end. He’s a real champ, and I cannot wait to see what he draws next in comics. Plus, I’m pretty sure when he does I’ll get the inside scoop…
Go here. Enjoy.
