SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
An extremely beautiful book with pure white pages. A lot of cover gloss - the led flash on my cell phone was reflected a bit in the front CGC plastic, but I guess the quality of this book still shines through. In December 2010 only two books are graded higher...
In an interview performed May 1998 by Jon B. Cooke at Comic Book Artist (CBA) Barry Windsor-Smith (Barry) offered these amusing answers in relation to the Red Nails story in this book:
"CBA: "Red Nails" is, in my opinion, your best work from that era. How long did it take you to complete that incredibly detailed work? Were you satisfied with the final production?
Barry: Oh, God—! "Red Nails"! How many time can I use the term "nightmare" in one interview? I should grab a thesaurus right now, right? How long did it take? Oh, only forever. Detail—? What detail—? There was detail in that thing? Where're my pills—? Somebody get me a doctor.
No, I'm fine. It's okay—I just need to breathe. S'okay. What was the question?
CBA: The second chapter of "Red Nails" showed a departure in your inking style from the delicate, finely rendered line to a more spotted, bold approach? Was this experimentation or the demands of the deadline?
Barry: Deadline—? There was a deadline? What do you mean "spotted'? Am I alright? Where's my medicine?"
