I had the good fortune of meeting James Romberger<\/a> at this year’s MoCCA festival. James is, like me, obsessed with color in comics. So, we’re becoming fast friends. <\/p>\n

He also has conducted a remarkable interview with Steranko. The magician\/escape artist\/cartoonist is in rare form. My favorite part: “When the men who created the rules and rhetoric of the comics form got together to decide on the architectural details, they failed to invite me. Consequently I found no reason to subscribe to their tenets. When I joined their ranks in 1967, the narrative devices that had been adopted and sanctioned for about half a century were considered untouchable commandments that were permanently etched in stone. Pages, panels, captions, and balloons were the essence of the comics format, all artifices considered unalterable by my peers.” <\/p>\n

I asked Mr. Romberger if he would mind me putting up a link. He said OK but wanted me to mention that it is only an excerpt from a much longer, fairly comprehensive interview that has yet to find a home in print. If we ever print another issue of Comics Comics<\/span> maybe I’ll beg him to let us publish it. <\/p>\n
