Robot 6 interviews JH Williams

Posted by Cory Tuesday 28 September 2010

Robot 6 has a interview with Batwoman writer and artist JH Williams:


Chris Arrant: Let’s start with an easy one – what are you working on today?


J.H. Williams III: I’m working on the tale end of Issue 1 of Batwoman, on the art side specifically. Then I’m going to put the finishing touches on a couple other scripts for the series.


Arrant: After [writer Greg Rucka's] departure, you were the natural choice to continue Kate’s story – especially given the intense nature of the creation of the character, as well as your own writing background. But this is undoubtedly your biggest writing gig yet – so what did you do to freshen up your skills on plotting and dialogue?


Williams: Well , the first thing I did was examine the direction of the series so far. There were certain plot elements Greg planned on following up on that I’m going to avoid in case he plans on returning and pursuing those. But besides that, it was just a matter of taking a look at the material and seeing what sort of angle we could take that might not be expected. At the same time, it needs to feel natural as to what came before it. It was a matter of doing brainstorming, figuring out what the series needed, a lot of invention, and plans for a creating a rogue’s gallery that Batwoman can call her own.


Arrant: Although you’re primarily known as an artist, you’ve written before – I think your last was a short in an issue of Hellboy: Weird Tales.


Williams: I also did Batman: Snow, but they were both relatively close together.


Arrant: Yes. What do you think you’ve learned in the intervening years since these last writing gigs?


Williams: I guess it was just a matter of focusing on making sure it’s a good story, and told in an interesting way. As far as what I’ve learned, it’s hard for me to really judge that because I feel like learning never stops; that’s the way I feel about my drawing style, too. It’s just a matter of doing the best I can do, and coming up with the most interesting things I can come up with. It helps having a writing partner such as Haden [Blackman, Williams’ Batwoman co-writer] to bounce ideas off of and play to each other’s strengths.
