I can guarantee you it’ll be the last time I get shafted on the art. Once Cammo bailed, the book was a goddamn free-for-all, artistically. I played the good soldier and pretty much let it slide (aside from some behind-the-scenes moaning to my editor that never does much good). And I think most of the readers were with me on this… thus proving the point I made in AUTOMATIC KAFKA. It’s the creators who make new creations work. I don’t create characters like Batman or Spider-Man that just anyone can write. I create characters that only myself and my original artistic collaborators can bring to life. Anything or anyone else is a waste of everyone’s time. No one but Ash Wood could’ve drawn KAFKA, and no one but Cammo should’ve ever drawn THE INTIMATES (although I’m not necessarily convinced that poor Cammo felt that way). And I have nothing but sympathy for anyone who put pencil to paper in service of THE INTIMATES after Cammo took the carrot. I mean, just look at the last four issues and tell me I’m wrong…
