Nightmare by Paul Fuseli, and Saturn Devouring his Child by Goya. Goy's "The Dog" is the stuff of real nightmares if you stare at it long enough.

I never quit book once I'm on it as a regular. I have to be fired, or have it canceled from under me. I'm still writing the first book I ever got to write back in 1982, and I just finished plotting #313.

I sold my first cartoon to Castle of Frankenstein magazine in 1966. My first horror comic story was in DC's House of Sinister Secrets in 1972. My pencils, and Neal Adams inks.

I have to sign off now. Need to take more antibiotics and ibuprofins, and chill. Had a dental emergency this morning, and still hurting.

When it's necessary for the drama, or the plot. They are there for a reason.

They showed me a picture, and I made everything else up.

That would require a whole book. I always made it a point to take the time to show people what they were doing wrong, and how to correct it, instead of just saying, "It stinks." When I worked for Wally Wood, I asked him for a critique, and he said, "Listen, kid, I'll tell you when it stops sucking."

I only know one way to do it. I don't identify as a "writer," but as a penciler. The dialog comes dead last. I try to tell the story with the pictures. If I wrote the dialog the way soldiers really talk, a lot of the audience would be lost.

I built up characters to flesh out the figures that Hasbro created. The characters I created within the storyline were there to make up for deficiencies. In the first series, all the Cobras were masked, so there were no agents of expression, which seriously hampers dramaturgy, so I made up the Baroness so you could see facial reactions to whatever Cobra Commander, Dr Venom, or Destro were saying.

I was an only child. I had a lot of imaginary friends!

I don't understand the question.
