In Response To: concerning news regarding david mack... (randy stone)

First Kabuki story I drew. I guess I had just turned 20. Still young enough that I still needed to get that sort of thing out of my system before I could move on.

I pretty much wrote about this sort of thing in the intro to KABUKI CLASSICS #1 which presents that KABUKI Fear the Reaper story. Certain creators like Frank Miller were a big inspiration to me when I was first deciding to do work in comics.

Sometimes you think you are doing homages to them, but really you just need to do about 100 pages of work to get the more superficial aspects of your early influences out of your system.

: though i still regard mack as the most impressive creator
: in comics, and probably the biggest inspiration to me,
: i was flipping through frank miller's wolverine mini
: series last night when i came across a very familiar
: image...

: there is a close up shot of lord shingen's face that was
: used by david to draw the old man in scene 3 of the
: circle of blood prologue

: when i first read the eary kabuki, i could totally see a
: FM influence, and thought about that with this image
: in particular, but i thought it was just an
: influence...

: this doesn't really change my opinion of david at all, i
: hold him in the highest regard... i was just wondering
: why someone who is obviously skilled enough to draw
: something on his own would copy the image almost
: exactly! if it was an homage to frank miller, then i
: can respect that, but were the identical shadows on
: the ears, shading under the nose, etc necessary?

: please saticefy my curiousity mr mack, i'd like to know
: what that was about ;)
