iFanboy #63 - Darwyn Cooke

ORIGINALLY RELEASED MARCH 29, 2008
Very late on a Saturday night, we say to Darwyn, “Hey, when do you want to do that interview?” Darwyn asks if we are man enough to meet him at 9am the next morning, only a few short hours away.
But this is Darwyn Cooke, the man behind so many great comics, and truly a master of the comic book form.
So, of course we’re man enough.
We’re groggy, but we’re men.
The recent release of the JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER DVD, and continued focus on Cooke’s DC: THE NEW FRONTIER comics, especially the gorgeous Absolute Edition, have shown comic readers that there is another way to make comics. It’s clean, elegant, intelligent, and not gimmicky. Cooke followed up on that success with a brilliant 12 issue run on THE SPIRIT. Cooke talks to us about where he came from, how he thinks about comics, what they should be, and even gives us a taste of what we’ll see in the future.
It’s candid, it’s a little salty, and it’s mostly coherent. It’s Darwyn Cooke on IFANBOY!

Next to Jack Kirby and Barry Windsor Smith Darwyn Cooke is undoubtedly my favorite artist.

Darwyn Cooke would have thrived as as a creator/owner in today's climate!!!!! Every industry needs an outsider like him to lead!!!!!!!!

Great interview. A great writer/artist. And I love the MySpace t-shirt.

Had the pleasure of purchasing the hardcover of New frontier last year and it was an incredible read.

God, I miss you guy. I've been out of the comics loop without you :-(.

[@ColeHarvey14]

Just watched Pick of the Week 501 and then this, seeing both your comments. Just wanted to make sure you knew that they do a podcast every week?

[@hanshotfirst1138]

And I enjoy it, but I miss the video show and the website content.

RIP

Would have really enjoyed if Darwyn Cooke would have been in charge of DC Comics.
