Let's address a few rumors about the man, shall we? Some say his real name isn't Frank Quitely, that's just a pen name. True. Some say one of his favorite writers is his longtime collaborator, Grant Morrison...that's true too. And some say he might be the best artist working in American comics today. Well, if that one isn't true now, keep watching, because he's well on his way!
Since hitting the scene in the mid 90's, Frank Quitely's been doing stellar work on titles like JLA: Earth 2, The Authority, New X-Men, and of course, All-Star Superman. With a style that's clearly adored by many a fanboy, he's amassed a large and dedicated following and deservedly so. Dynamic figures, sprawling landscapes and sharply detailed backgrounds are all staples of Frank's beautiful handiwork. He's the kinda guy that not only makes it look good, but makes it look easy too.
Just before Christmas, he came on the show to talk about all things All-Star and what's next for him after his run on the series ends. We also chatted a bit about scripts and storytelling ideas, Quitely's "fashion sense" on the book and his popular, but somewhat controversial time on The Authority with writer, Mark Millar. This is Part I of II with FQ!
