I a...John, I am touched that you read this blog. <br /><br />I am always really curious about scripts. I know that comic book scriptwriters have to have a pretty good feel for what the actual book will look like. You have to figure out how many pages the story will take up, and more or less what will go on each page--maybe even what will go in each frame. But I think I always thought that writers deal with words and artists deal with images. Maybe the lines are not so clearly drawn between those two aspects... <br /><br />Thank you for your insider's view into the process. For me, as maybe for other readers of this blog, how a graphic novel gets put together is a bit of a mystery. <br /><br />Yes, I can see Seth not being willing to stick to the writer's plan for all the details in an image-heavy script. Imagining details was one of the pleasures to him of illustrating a story. <br /><br />This particular page came out pretty dramatic, I think, and quite effective as an image of bursting into The Future. I hope you were pleased with the finished project.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195527278285894012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202621793249217767.post-1361368492348422822009-10-25T08:41:24.849-07:002009-10-25T08:41:24.849-07:00I'd have to do some digging to see if I still ...I'd have to do some digging to see if I still have a script for that. <br /><br />I'm suspecting that that was something Seth came up with. In the original script, Steve's jet exploded through the upper floors of a high rise building. A few months later came 9/11, and that scene was changed for obvious reasons. I'm pretty sure Seth drew it the original way first. I remember the editor calling me and telling me it would need to be changed, but don't remember if I changed it, he changed it, or Seth changed it. <br /><br />I tend to script very fully with lots of visual description for the artists I work with. Seth followed the general instructions, but ignored most of the specifics. This was something we talked about, and I was okay with it, since he clearly had a specific design for the future world he wanted to use. I was sad to see some elements dropped, but he made up for it with his overall vision of what he wanted to do.John Rozumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626209473214085436noreply@blogger.com
