something I am grateful for today

Looking back at my old work and being able to see good in it... it's nice to be able to like what you do.

Yes, I thought so too... but then I thought "How can Mr. Windsor-Smith tell what Mr. Lee's, or my, emotional investment is in Mr. Lee's work? What is the objective yardstick for emotion?"

It's a subjective yardstick!! :P

He also said this about Liefeld's art. Well, I can see what he means there, because IMO Mr. Liefeld is... not very good. It seems more mechanical in execution, a job to be done, and in his case, not done very well. I could point to specific examples that are objective in this sense.

Mr. Lee is more accomplished. It's harder for me to be sure it was just a paycheck for him.

I recently read the two Batman sagas The Long Halloween and Hush. Same writer, but the artist for the first is Tim Sale and for the second Jim Lee. They could not be more different in style, and I think Mr. Windsor-Lee would probably say, in emotional intimacy. It would be interesting discussing these differences with you in e-mail if you've read them both.

Haven't read (or heard of) either, actually...
