CTG: What did comics mean to you as a child and what made you want to make them?

 

CTG: You had a young, aspiring artist come up to you earlier -

 

Walsh: Yeah, I get that quite often at shows like this now. Young or aspiring artists asking for portfolio reviews, which I'm always happy to do because I did that when I was a young artist coming to shows like this. I was always very thankful or artists that would take the time to speak with me and to talk about my work.

 

CTG: What did comics mean to you when you were growing up, and what made you transition from loving them into wanting to make them?

 

I had the pleasure of talking with Howard Mackie, writer of Ghost Rider and Spider-Man. Howard was incredibly nice and had a lot to say, so enjoy the interview!
