Yeah... he's a loon, no doubt. But he does get results. ;^) I only had the privilege of meeting the Pini's once at a show. The guy in line ahead of me had a stack of "ElfQuest" collections about 35 high and was REALLY freaky. He kept telling me how he drive past Poughkeepsie every day and said "there's Elfland!!!" Really rabid. I just had the coupla of "Beauty and the Beast" graphic novels they did (so kill me, I liked "Beauty and the Beast" and I'm a big girl). I saw then later: we were both in line getting something to eat and we had a nice, but short conversation about their fanatical fan base. ;^) It was that same show (the Ramapo high school show... which attracts, or at least used to, TONS of artists) that I met Berni Wrightson for the first time as well. We had a tense conversation about the "Captain Stern" short in "Heavy Metal". He was (I think correct in) thinking that the whole movie was a pile of stinking crap... but I still liked "Captain Stern". He did a mini-series with the character sometime later. I'm still convinced that "Zap Branigin", despite his clear Kirk influence, also had some Captain Stern in him. Wrightson was always a favorite - a guy in high school was pretty close to him through his mother and would bring unfinished work of his into art class. I was sooooo jealous. He (his name was Django Zaloom) was also the nephew of Paul Zaloom who was "Beakman" of the incredible kids science show "Beakman's World". Ah... memories.
