Great interview! I was trying to read his books in the background. It is really cool that you interviewed him in his studio. I hope you can interview Barry Windsor-Smith as the other surviving former member of The Studio.
Only yesterday, I was bagging up my copies of Kaluta`s Star Struck comic and today discover this interview....how cool! I had the pleasure of meeting Mike, Bernie Wrightson and Jeffrey (Catherine) Jones, at Andromeda Bookshop in Birmingham, way back when they were in the UK promoting The Studio. My signed copy of the book, is still one of my most treasured posessions! Unfortunately Barry Smith didn`t want to travel outside of London but a great moment nonetheless.
Still one of my heros. It was Mike who got me to think about art, rather than just draw, aping other comic art The biggest inspiration came with an installment of Starstruck in Heavy Metal. That was a good slap in the face. I met both Mike and Bernie a few years later, and the previlage was mine. Cheers, Mike.
Really a pleasure to do this interview with Mike. He's so open and affable and has so many great stories. Thanks again Michael.
Your interview with Mike was truly delightful. We're grateful for the opportunity, and we're eagerly looking forward to the next one!

Thank you so much for this lovely interview. He's one of the best comic book illustrators of all time.
We are thrilled you liked the interview 🤗

I grew up in the 70's. I was very lucky. This guy is one of the greats.
