Last week Cameron Stewart was announced as the next artist to work alongside Grant Morrison on Batman & Robin after Philip Tan.

CBR have an interview with Cameron this week to discuss working with Grant and the working relationship they've had over the years.

CBR: You’ve got quite a history working with Grant Morrison but “Batman and Robin” must be very exciting nonetheless.

CAMERON STEWART: Oh yeah, I am thrilled about it. I got the offer a couple weeks before the San Diego Comic-Con. I’d already talked about it with Grant before. And as soon as I found out that he was doing “Batman and Robin” with Quitely, I said, “Well, if you ever need a fill-in artist, I’ll do it.” And it was kind of up in the air and he said, “I don’t know if it will be possible.” So I basically just assumed it wasn’t going to happen. And then before San Diego, I got an email from Mike Marts, the editor, and he said, “Cameron, do you want to do it?” It was really exciting. And then I went to San Diego and was buzzing about it. That was the killer. I went to San Diego and Toronto Fan Expo and people were saying, “So what are you working on next?” And I wasn’t allowed to say anything.

CBR: This will be the fourth project you’ve worked on with Morrison. What makes you click so well?

CS: I think it dates back to when I was working on” The Invisibles,” which was pretty early in my career. I’ve been a huge, huge fan of Grant’s since I was like 13, and when I was working on “The Invisibles” I did a couple of pages right near the end for this jam issue with a bunch of other artists. And I remember there was a pivotal sequence in the comic that was drawn by Ashley Wood -- and Ashley Wood is an amazing artist and I think his stuff is really great -- but I think in that particular thing – I don’t know if he was already reading “The Invisibles” or it was just an assignment he was going to do – but I felt that he didn’t do the sequence, kind of, justice. Back then, it was pretty early in my career and I was kind of stupid and I remember going on a message board because I was a huge fan of “The Invisibles” and I complained about it. And I think what happened was, Grant saw that and understood that first and foremost, I was a really big fan of his stuff, and I wanted it to be done properly. So I think from that point on, he’s thought of me as someone who understands him and wants to do his stuff the best that it can be.
