Mike Grell interview, from COMIC BOOK ARTIST # 8


Grell remains one of my favorites from the 70's, particularly on SUPERBOY/LEGION 202-224, WARLORD 1-50, GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW 90-110, BATMAN FAMILY 1, DETECTIVE COMICS 455

And his later independent work on STARSLAYER 1-6, JON SABLE FREELANCE 1-43, and JAMES BOND: PERMISSION TO DIE 1-3 (that perfectly captures the Bond movies).

Some of his nicest art was in GREEN ARROW:THE LONG BOW HUNTERS 1-3, although I didn't really care for the story. Others raved about it, though.
Few other writer/artists have such a fluid narrative style, letting the story tell itself visually, with an economy of prose, the way Grell does. His layouts and rendering remain striking and beautiful. And he draws some of the sexiest women in comics.
