I assumed that the collaboration between the writer and artist would be fairly intimate, a lot of back and forth. But it's not like the old days when they were all together in New York, working out of the famed Marvel bullpen. |
The truth is, because of where the technology is now, the artists are really spread out. |
You go through a whole procedure before you can even pitch an idea. They would only talk to me very generally about stories and characters until I had signed a release that said Marvel is developing many story ideas in many arenas and even if a story later emerges that is very much like mine, it might have existed before and I will not under any circumstances sue them. |
