Publisher's Weekly (http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6305372.html) did an article on Daredevil.

Way to go. Can't wait to see the first issue. I was sorry to see you guys leave Gotham Central. Great work on that.

Very cool. Wanted to ask you about this:

Quote from Publishers' Weekly:

[As the creative duo begins work on the series that debuts this month, they have begun developing their own relationship to the Daredevil character. "With the main character as a blind man, that presents challenges in the way we tell his stories. Not everything is about what the camera sees, but what Murdock's mind's eye is able to piece together," explained Lark.]

I am interested in how you are going to bring this POV to fruition. We didn't see anything through Matt's mind's eye during the Bendis and Maleev era, and I wondered if you can give us a little insight as to how you might be doing that. Thanks!

Well, I have to disagree with you about some of that. There were several instances where Alex did that - most notably in the conclusion to "Decalogue".

Obviously, we have to use visual imagery, and sometimes that means that we're illustrating what Matt hears or feels or smells, rather than what he sees. So, at one point, he's trying to listen to what's going on around him, and I did lots of little illustrations of the different things he might be hearing. Frank Miller did it fairly regularly - we're not breaking new ground, but it's something different for me. Especially after what I had to do on Gotham Central, which was, in effect, a tv show on paper. This allows us to use some storytelling techniques that I've never gotten to use before.

I stand corrected. Maybe I should have said it wasn't used as much as it was back in some of the earlier days of DD.

I look forward to your take on how Matt perceives the world around him. That's got to be a great challenge. Thanks for your answer.

Michael,

Think Marvel may release a poster of your first DD promo image (the upside down flip)? If not, will any of your DD art be available?

Best of Luck On Your Run. Ill be there all the way!

Mike sells his art through Mark Hay over at Splashpage (http://www.splashpageart.com/). I know he's going to have DD art up for sale....in fact some of it may already be gone from issue 82....8-)

Well, that image was just something I had done for someone else, and when Marvel needed something quickly for the promo slide-show at the Chicago con, I gave them that. They've actually used it much more than I expected, and I hope they don't use it for anything else unless they pay me! :)
