When I found out I'd have more like a month to do an issue, then I agreed to do it. Cory was the one saying, What is he telling you?!? Don't worry about it. But Cory Walker was living with Robert at the time, and back then we used to have these conference calls where I would be talking to one of them with the other chiming in the background telling him to tell me something. I was still trying to get my bills paid by waiting tables and getting this thing off the ground.So I called him up, and he said, Are you fast, or does it take you like a week to color a book? I was completely daunted at the time at the idea that Robert thought taking a week to color an issue was slow. At first, I was a little bit skeptical to take on that amount of work because at the time I was still a waiter. I got an e-mail from somebody I'd never heard of named Robert Kirkman, and I think he said something like, This stuff is gold! Gold, I say! It was very hyperbolic. Phil Hester was at the time carrying around a little portfolio of printed out pages, and I think at that point, Image had every intention of putting Firebreather out, but we were still taking it around to shows and showing it to people. To take it back to the beginning, you got roped into this gig originally because you had colored Firebreather for Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn, and Kirkman saw those pages and brought you over.That's right.
