There’s great joy in collaboration…
Finding people in work, play or homelife who bounce off your vibes or settle into your grooves is a deeply fulfilling achievement in humanhood. Many fields of art excel with great collaboration, but comics sizzles. In the four-colored world, talented folks with disparate skills riff each other, enhancing a story in ways big and small. I love that aspect of writing comics, and I built All-True Outlaw in a way that made it a priority to work with different artists, letters and editors.
I have tremendous appreciation for every single one of these talented creators. Their dedication to craft and perpetual professionalism smooth out my rough edges!
