CREATORS

CHRIS COOPER 

First pro work:Jeez, this is embarrassing , but I don't remember... It was either a backup story in a Namor annual, or else a back up in an X-men annual...

Dream project:To write a Sub-Mariner series, I'd sacrifice my first born (can you do that when you're gay?)

Favorite project of your own: QUEER NATION: THE ONLINE GAY COMIC

First comic ever read: a second hand copy of an old TALES TO ASTONISH, in which the Sub-Mariner fought a giant alien robot that Attuma had commandeered.

Favorite comic of all time:V FOR VENDETTA by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, Chapter 11:"Valerie"(UNCANNY X-MEN #113 by Claremont and Byrne, in which Storm picks a lock with her teeth, is a close second)

Comics currently read:I only read them sporadically these days;nothing regularly.

One person you'd like to meet:Susan Sarandon. Not only is she one of America's most tralented actresses, but she uses her celebrity to fight for a myriad of progressive causes, including lesbian and gay issues. And ya lgotta love he in Rocky Horror! My former choice, retired washerwoman/philanthropist Oseola McCarty, died in the last year.

Last good movie you saw:American Beauty

Last good book you read:THE MISTS OF AVALON by Marian Zimmer Bradley.

Billy or Carlos?(the first gay dolls):DO THEY DO FOURSOMES?

Celebrity you would have for a night:I'm in a strip wrestling match with WCW champ Goldberg...one thing leads to another...

Favorite gay character:Queen Latifah's lesbian character from SET IT OFF, and the gay football player on BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.
