Bill Willingham said: "Today: a visit to studios where City of Heroes, one of those big online games, is created. Then 12 hours in the bar. Full, fulfilling day."
Bill Willingham, for the uninitiated, is a brilliant comic book writer and artist (though mainly writer these days, though he did draw Nightcrawler's feet for me at a convention... long story), and creator of Fables, one of my favorite Vertigo series. Though he has done some superhero stuff as well. So, I wonder if this means anything?

By:
FEAR NOT! Good citizens of Paragon... I, the LibertyCrusader! Am on the
job! Where have I come from? What strange origin story may be told? I say to you now; these things matter NOT! For I am a true scion of Liberty, Freedom... and above all... JUSTICE! I was once just a man... as are all of you, and yet, I have taken up the single most important cause of all; TRUTH! Indeed, deep within each and every one of you, also beats the heart of a Hero; you are all, LibertyCrusaders! in your own way! Fear my hearty cry of battle for I call out any who would tarnish or oppress the basic rights possessed by the good citizens of this country, and Paragon itself. LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL!

a couple days ago, on Twitter...
http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/news_a Willingham wrote what is, in my opinion, the best single-issue superhero comic book ever written: Elementals V.2 Issue 15. He also did a number of the covers to some classic D&D modules. But yeah, he's Guest Authoring stuff. |
