Colorized Version:
“He is magnificent…”
I was pretty proud of my hot chicks that I drew, considering that the vast majority of my prior comics were slapstick violence and comedy with periodic dramatic interludes involving mostly male characters. I kind of forced women into the storyline just to have an excuse to draw them. I owe many artists for my style — Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, Bill Watterson, Art Adams, Floro Dery, Sh?hei Kohara, John Byrne, Marc Silvestri, Don Figueroa to name a few — but these “hot chick” pages were heavily inspired by the now late Michael Turner, one of my favorite artists who died far too young, as he had a lot of art to give us (and inspire fellow artists such as myself). This page is an homage to him and his beautiful style.
