HOWARD CHAYKIN

I still get Clint’s weekly comics email. Even though I now live in Denver, I can’t bear to cancel the email. I smile every time it arrives.

Man... You are so lucky. I wish a could meet and chat with all the comic book creators that i like.

A friend of mine has connetions with DC Comics actually He brought Jock to Turkiye, but i didn't have the time so i missed the opportunty to meet with Jock. :/ Same friend of mine also thought about bringing Frank Miller to Turkiye, but he is too old for such a long trip from America to Turkiye. :/

I meet and chat with Yildiray Cinar and Mahmut A. Asrar when i was a university student in Ankara though. (: They were just breaking into American Comics back then.

I do feel lucky. I?ve met and chatted with Stan Lee, Gene Colan, Marv Wolfman, Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, Sal Buscema, John Romita Sr & Jr, Walt Simonson, Jim Starlin, Alex Maleev and others as well as Chaykin. Wish I could have met Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and John Buscema.

Also met some great sculptors like The Shifflett Bros, Walter O?Neil, Joe Menna, Keith Kopinski, etc.

That?s sad. Altercation with a thief. There was a good bit of crime in that area. Kind of odd being so close to the mansions of Ward Parkway.

Agree.

The article captures his personality nicely. He really was a larger than life character with tons of knowledge and stories. Back to the origin of your thread, it?s no wonder he and Howard Chaykin gravitated so much toward each other.
