Dredd
takes a swing |
|
Some of the
Dredd scripts are pretty topical, how far in advance do you get a script?
Inaki
We received the topical scripts on Monday and delivered the five completed strips
(inked and coloured) on Friday, so they could letter it and send it to the Metro
paper to appear the next Monday. It was very much chained team work.
Do you find
the fact that your work is appearing in a daily paper is helping to raise your
profile in the industry?
Inaki
We hope so. We can't tell how much it may be raising it though and we think
that in the end everything will depend mostly on the quality of our work and how
people appeal to it. We see this daily exposure as a unbeatable chance to show
our work to the audience.
The strip appears in colour some days, and black and white
on others, why is this, and does it annoy you?
Inaki
We really don’t know, though I'm more the "hall full glass of
water" kind of person, so I guess I'm just happy about them been printed
at all. Of course I would have preferred them to have all been printed in colour,
but again, I feel much like Mike Wazowsky on “Monsters Inc”. when
he sees himself on the cover of the magazine! Anyway, this is more Eva’s
field, so…
Eva
I also feel like Mike Wazowsky! And of course it's a pity they're not been printed
in colour the whole week, but we have known they are starting to be printed in
colour in the Meg, and that’s just great!

on the run |

You must be
happy at the news that the strips are going to be reprinted in the Megazine, but
have you any idea why they haven't appeared on the Metro website yet?
Inaki
Yes, we are happy about that happening. We haven’t seen them yet, but read
on the 2000AD Online Message Board that they are being printed larger and in full
colour. We don't know why they haven’t started to be posted on the Metro
website, and though we are sure there must be a reason, we don't know it.
Are there any
characters that you would like to draw? In 2000AD or other comics?
Inaki
I guess what really attracts me is a good story rather than the character, although
I also want it to have visually attractive sequences for me to draw. Judge Dredd
is great because he's a character that allows the artists to draw many different
kinds of stories and environments. I think if I had to choose, I'd say I'd like
to draw a HellBoy story, a Spider-man story, a Superman story,
a Death story (Vertigo), a Sin City story, a Corto Maltese adventure
and many other stories featuring great potential characters. Oh, and I'd love
to do a Slaine story! All this if Eva colours them, of course!
Do either of
you ever work with another artist?
Inaki:
No, and I’d like to keep it that way. In my opinion we make a great team,
and I see ourselves as one person instead of two. I think our art style is the
result of very close team work.
Eva: We
have built ourselves together as artists, so I wouldn't understand why either
of us would want to work with other artists.
I have done some
work for APComics, like colouring Faro Korbit (Mike Baron & Mel Rubi), and
though it has been a pleasure for me, I'd like people to see us (Inaki & me)
as an exclusive team.
