Over on Comics Career one of our favourite creators, Gerry Alanguilan, answers ten questions on his life in comics:
“CC: What has been the most rewarding project in your professional career – in or out of comics – and why?
Gerry: Working on Superman: Birthright was very rewarding to me creatively and financially. It’s probably my most favorite inking job, and of course, the chance to work on Superman was quite an honor. And to work on Superman with a couple of the best people in the business, Mark Waid and Leinil Francis Yu, it becomes even more special.
Working on Elmer, my self-published comic book, is much more rewarding for different reasons. It’s where I get to do everything from writing, to drawing, to publishing, to distributing, and even marketing. It’s all down to me. It’s creative heaven, as far as I’m concerned. Not only has it been rather profitable for me, but it also has gotten a lot of really good reviews, even one from Neil Gaiman. I’ve only just finished Elmer, so it’s too early to say what the ultimate impact of it will be to me, but so far it’s been great.“
