CREATORS | TERRANCE GRIEP, JR. |
First prowork: "FLARE FIRST EDITION #5, published by
Heroic Publishing, Feb. 1993."
Dream Project: "JLA, Avengers, Bat-Anything, or Spider-Anything.
Also Scooby-Doo, which I done did do."
Favorite Project of your own: "BLACK VESPER, a super-hero project
I'm developing with Kat Butt Komix. In the closet as a civilian, out of the
closet as a super-hero...instead of having one secret identity, he has two!"
First comic ever read: "I've been reading comics longer
than I could read, so it's difficult to remember. BATMAN #251,
"The Joker's Five Way Revenge," gave me my first media-inspired nightmares."
Favorite comic of all time: "First published in SHOWCASE
#55, I read it as a reprint in THE BRAVE & THE BOLD #115.
Entitled "Solomon Grundy Goes on a Rampage," it introduced me to some
of my favorite Golden Age characters: Hourman, Dr. Fate, Green Lantern,
and the misunderstood Mr. Grundy himself."
Comics you currently read: "Big Bang Comics, JLA, JSA, Hourman,
Starman, Astro City, DC's Cartoon Network Books, absolutely everything
Alan Moore writes, The Authority, Hellboy, EC reprints, Measles."
One person you'd like to meet: "Edgar A. Poe. I doubt if
he'd be very talkative, though."
Last good movie you saw: "I abhor Hollywood films.
I recently saw KISS ME GUIDO on video and managed to keep my popcorn down."
Last good book you read: "DISCOVERING AMERICA'S PAST by Reader's
Digest, MALICIOUS INTENT by Sean Mactire, OUT IN ALL DIRECTIONS edited by
Lynn Witt, Sherry Thomas, and Erik Marcus."
Billy or Carlos? (The first gay dolls): "Oh, is there a
Billy doll? Carlos, of course."
Celebrity you would have "for a night": "Billy Zane. He'd
burst into my apartment wearing his Titanic boarding clothes, roughly
grab me by my corset, lecture me about my exertions below decks, and
then.... ah, but I've said too much already."
Favorite gay character: "Phil Jimenez ('Ey, you didn't say
he had to be a FICTIONAL character!)"

GLA members might be particularly interested to know that I'm working with gay publisher Shane Heckethorn's Kat Butt Komix on a super-hero I created, BLACK VESPER. Due out (hopefully) in Fall 2000, it plays the idea of "secret identities"; the main character is "out" as a super-hero but "in" as a civilian. He gets his name from Shakespeare's ANTONY & CLEOPATRA.
Oh, and I've also written some things WITHOUT any pictures, but I'll assume that's off-topic. I hope I'm not suffering from delusions of grandeur thinking you might be interested.
