Back in 1988, an eager young art student saw an ad from Blackthorne
publishing looking for comic book artists who cold draw big Mechs,
and he readied three pages for their review. He was hired! Angels
sang! Life was definitely fine as his lifelong career goal was realized
(nevemind that the pay was low) He sent the 2nd book to the inker, who just few weeks later sent back the half inked pages, informing him that the publisher, one Steve Schanes, made a bad deal with an oversea distributor and Blackthorne went promptly bankrupt. The young artist became older, wiser and more cynical about fly-by-night art clients, a healthy lesson. And now you know... The Rest of the Story! |
