Anthony Falcone bemoaned the fact that the rise of the writers seemed to be occurring at the expense of the illustrators (“Artists and Writers,” www.comicbookdaily.com, June 5, 2012). We agree. Comic-book writers don’t get far without good illustrators to translate the moods they want to create into the stories.  Daniel Champion shines a light on a very simple truth about comic-book writing:  “Use words AND picture to make a different statement, don’t use both to cover the same ground” (“Writing for Comics,” www.comicbookdaily.com, July 18, 2102). Matt Fraction also says that “Comics are about that interplay, comics need that interplay to truly become more than the sum of its part” (Jeffery Klaehn, “Matt Fraction Interview,” jefferyklaehn.blogspot.ca, October 19, 2011).
