My dad picked it up from a comic shop on his way home from work one night after I had expressed interest in reading comics. I was 10 or 11 I believe. I think its interesting how I knew so much about this character before ever reading a single issue. He really is just such an iconic character that his history is just ingrained in pop-culture. I'm sure I could talk someones ear off about the Hulk, having only really read a few issues.
I have been doing some serious thinking about my future, (as it quickly becomes my present), and I really want to do something serious in comics. So in honor of this green titan and my lifelong obsession with comics, I plan on doing an illustration of the Hulk in the near future.
After growing up with and being inspired by comics and cartoons, I kind of drifted away from them in my teens and twenties. Now, in my early 30's I find myself steadily getting back into comics and I love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, you write about the Hulk. He's a character I never really got into when I was younger, but has now become a favorite. One of the first storylines I read in my comics "comeback" was Planet Hulk, which was a really fun read.
I'm looking forward to seeing your forthcoming Hulk illustration.
