"The quaintness and elegant simplicity of it was what I was trying to capture," he said of "Cul de Sac." Henry lists a range of influences for the strip, from Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes" and Richard Thompson's "Cul de Sac" to George Herriman's "Krazy Kat" and the work of Rhode Island-based artist Don Bousquet. He credits working closely the first year with his editor, Shena Wolf, director of Comics and Acquisitions at Andrews McMeel Universal, for his ability now to find what's working before he submits a strip.Īs far as keeping the ideas fresh day in and day out, he said, "It's like any other muscle I suppose, the more you do it, the stronger it gets." I mean it was probably one of the Top 10 moments in my life so far." "And it has been very fulfilling and it was awesome to get that call that Andrews McMeel was interested in the comic strip. "It's tough to get your foot in the door, but once you do, I find it's a lot of fun," Henry said. Captain Britain and Firestorm (Part One)Ģ4 (2) 3-D Man (1) A.A.Having a "Wallace the Brave" collection published in 2017 was also a "far-out experience," he said.Captain Britain and Firestorm (Part Two).Sherlock Holmes in The House of Mystery.X-Men and the Justice Society in: "The Swap!".Fantastic and Cyborg / Lois Lane and The Watcher And he made a good teen-age Hulk in that "What-If?" story too.
The Death of Captain Marvel wouldn't have been the same without him. While he no longer represents the current fan demographic now, Rick was one the vital supports that the writers used well to hold things together. Just trying to make sense of all he had seen in the Marvel Universe must have kept him up at night. Hey, he even could have had a cushy job with Tony Stark, but I know going corporate wasn't his style. And even though he knew electronics, he wasn't an annoying geek like Wesley Crusher either. He had way too much insight in to what was going on. To be sure, he wasn't some dorky sidekick like Jimmy Olson. (I start talking like a Beatnik just thinking about it.) Rick was that "James Dean" type rebel I could identify with, as someone who was fighting the system, while still seeking some kind of achievement and recognition. Man, he was a vital link in the first Thanos story, and he could hold his own against most of the bad guys' regular goons, even before he picked up some superpowers, for a time.
Amen Bob Greenwade! Yes, Rick Jones was some tragically unused capital in the MCU shows and movies.
