Jim lee white out pen12/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() You took part in the creation of Image comics, you had your own Wildstorm. On one hand you want to honor the past and be respectful but in the same time you want to be a little fearless and put your own imprint on the characters. Superman and Batman are the most iconic in the business so you can’t help and think about all the creators that worked on the characters before you. Yeah! It was intimidated because I was such a big fan of the X-men growing up. You tackled legends, Batman, the X-men and so forth throughout your carrier. Don’t worry dear reader I’m positive you can find them somewhere on the web.įirst thing first: Legends and independence. I decided to skip all the basic questions: when did you start, how did you start and so forth… Jim Lee being Jim Lee, the story must have been told a hundred time and to spare him answering them again I skipped them. ![]() Put your seatbelt on, watch out for Daemonites and be prepared for a trip with Batman, The X-men and the pantheon of superheroes drawn and liked by mister Jim Lee.

Julien was removing books and putting new one on the table, Jim, pen in hand, was signing copies as fast as Flash and I was at his side, my recorder on, pestering him about his carrier, his characters and so much more. It was a bit like being Chaplin in Modern Times (1936): assembly-line work in the comics’ world. While he was signing them like a pro we talked. He finally arrived with Julien, and along a very long table where all the books were waiting to be signed I begun asking him questions. Downstairs, where Album comics was born two decades ago, I was waiting. Around 11.30 am I went to the 8 rue Dante in order to prepare the several copies of Action #1000 that Jim was to signed. Nevertheless I did it and it was very illuminating.ĭue to technicalities Jim Lee was late on Friday night thus postponing the interview to the following day. I have to admit I was a bit anxious, stressed out to meet him and ask him the bunch of questions I had in mind. It was a great event and two wonderful days with the legend. Album Comics was celebrating its twentieth birthday on Boulevard Saint-Germain and to do it in grand fashion we invited Jim Lee at a gathering to meet his fans. ![]()
