GKO: MADHOUSE
Here you will find our rambalings on all area's of Batman, interviews and speical features!
Knight has got a exclusive interview with Detective Comics artist JH Williams III.
Enjoy!
1) How long is your run on Detective Comics?
The plan is for me to do 12 or so issues. These probably won't be consecutive, we may need another artist to step in for a few issues.
2) Was it easy drawing Batwoman, or an experiance where you needed to keep drawing untill you got the right figure?
No, I didn't find it problematic to draw her at all. She has enough unique characteristics that make it a simple thing to figure out. Body language though, is always a bit tricky no matter what character you are drawing. Because you want to make sure things look right or as right as you can make them. Sometimes drawings come out beautiful with very little effort, other times, drawings come out not so good no matter how much you try to work it out. Being an artist, you have good days and bad days.
3) What are you planning to do after your run on Detective Comics?
I'm not sure at the moment. There are lot of possibilities and opportunities, but I need to figure out what the right thing for me will be. I have some ideas but not sure where I want to focus my energy. I've got awhile yet on Batwoman, so I have plenty of time to think about it.
4) After Elegy is Detective Comics going to tie into other series such as Azrael, Batgirl, and Batman?
We're not likely to do that sort of thing anytime soon. Our second arc will focus on Batwoman's origins. The thing of it is that the plan for my 12 twelve issues is to comprise an overall larger story arc to be told even though it has 3 arcs. These feed into each other to form a greater whole.
5) Is Greg planning something big for Batwoman or is he just going to keep focusing on her origin?
I'm not sure I understand your question. We are telling the story of Batwoman and all that means for the character. Beyond that, I don't see anything else that matters. It's her story, no one else needs to be in it.
6) How was it like teaming up with somebody like Greg Rucka?
Greg is a great partner in this venture. I feel like he and I make a good team. Our perspectives seem to mesh well and I think that shows on the page. And I hope to work with him on other things beyond Batwoman.
7) Is the Question co-feature supposed to tie-into Detective Comics. If it does would you be planning to do the artwork?
At this point I don't think there are plans for the two stories to cross. If they do so at some time down the road, that will likely be after my commitments.
8) Is Greg planning to introduce new characters. If so are you having a good time designing them?
There may be some new characters showing up later, don't know for sure yet. But we really need to worry about focusing on what we've already come up with. There is a lot of story to be told with the cast we've already got. So there isn't any real designing to speak of beyond what people will be seeing in the upcoming issues that have already been completed.
