One thing I found intriguing was his use of subtly—and sometimes not so subtly—different styles for different stories. I assumed he did it for the “atmosphere” of each tale, and decided I should do the same.

Years later I learned those different styles were actually different artists, but by then the damage was done. Giving each series its own “flavor” had become an unconscious compulsion. I could not have made ELSEWHEN look like OMAC no matter how hard I tried.
