Ha, very nice. Finland and Poland seem to have a similar artist visit
calendar (artist signing occasions this summer and autumn have given a nice
head start for my Grandma Duck picture collection): Vicar was here few days
before his Poland visit that you reported earlier, and a week after your
Andersen visit, we had Cavazzano and Erickson to celebrate a new semi-hard
cover Dragonlords book.
There was also an interview with some interesting information about
Dragonlords series:
[SPOILER SPACE - don't read ahead if you haven't finished the series or do
not mind being spoiled]
Most interestingly: originally Erickson intended to kill Snuffles (Nuuhku
in Finnish, I'm not sure I got the English name correctly), but was
convinced to change the script. They also spoke about the chapter eleven,
sixteen pages of comics without a single one speech or thought bubble and
with minimal text in general. Cavazzano thought it was pretty challenging. :-)
Worked out fine I think, when I first read the story I didn't even notice
the lack of bubbles.
