Maybe your right JPB.
It's an advice coming from the right guy in any regard - your sense of color is just amazing.

You seem to love certain characters more than others, 'cause you do the ultimate version of HULK, as far as I'm concerned, very much in the spirit of Kirby!

You are right about certain characters Mikael i do love the Hulk and Thor i try to draw them as i see them in my mind i love Kirby but most of my influences are from the english artists i knew personaly like Harry Lindfield, Gerry Haylock, Frank Bellamy Ron Embelton,Mike Noble ,Frank Hampson,the list is endless.And by the way another fine page from you Mikael keep them coming.

**Yikes**, all those guys are legends.. do you know whether it's true that Bellamy never used to pencil his comics, but went straight to ink?
I have always wondered if that rumor could be true, it seems unbelivable...
But if you do these skeches in four-five minutes, I wonder if maybe it's true after all..

Frank Bellamy did light pencils on the CS10 boards that he would use i spoke to him about the effects he got on his work and he told me how he would go about it i learnt a lot from him.I remember the day he died i was on my way to IPC magazines and remember that they were horrible to me about Frank Bellamy i never forgot that.Frank Bellamy to me was the master and i told him so i miss his work.Those colours your sister has done look fantastic they bring your work to life even more well done.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm sorry about the circumstances.
I always admired Bellamys work immensly, even though only bits and pieces were published in sweden in a mag called "seriemagasinet".
A number of british comics were published there, and I remembered them all fondly, they had different ideas than the american superheroes, but they were just as cool, sometimes even cooler.

Mikael ...
Although -- much to my regret -- my meagre inking skills were
insufficient to do justice to your pencils, I have to ask:
Do you have someone to do your lettering? I genuinely love your pages
and would actually like to make some kind of contribution to the way they
look. I actually am a professional letterer (although it will be later in
the year before my work starts to filter through into the publication) and
I'd happily letter your pages for free ...
Please feel free to e-mail me if you're interested (you already have my
address, I think) or just ignore me if not.
Cheers!
Jim
