" I don't believe in solutions for my characters , unless they're organic".
Clowes will be the first to tell you , he was influenced by Superhero comics , in ways that are less obvious....When he started out , with "Lloyd Llewellyn" , in the 80's , Independent Comics were on the move , but , barring Clowes , Bagge , The Brothers Hernandez and Friedman , and scant few others, IT WAS ALL ABOUT FUCKING SUPERHEROES...
And , if you were'nt around then , Brothers and Sisters , it was a major pain in the ass trying to find any of 'em. I was , however , lucky enough to live near what'd go on to be the last truly sleazy comic book store in Chicago , Larry's. Ask Dan about it , if you meet him. He'll tell you how great it was.

BTW , Dan told me that my suspicions were correct , that his "Divisible Man " (The only superhero I remember from "Lloyd Llewellyn" apart from the drug - ravaged "Battlin' American") was based on the incredibly bad , but , still incredible ,
unauthorized "Captain Marvel" character from the mid - 60's (No relation to Fawcett/DC or Marvel's CMs.), who could disassemble his body parts at will. Yeah.

John... WHO THE HELL HAVEN'T YOU MET, MAAAAAN!? :) Seriously, love hearing all those anecdotes.
+ Those were the days of making shit happen with sweat and blood! Way before you could buy their stuff from Pantheon & the such. When Los Bros and Clowes and Burns started out, they each other were their only motivators: "What is Jaime doing?? Look at that Beto cover! Hey wait up! That issue of Eighball!! Damn we gotta top that!" and so on and so on. Friendly rivalry to boot. They cracked the egg on this modern Comic thing.
The bit in the "DAN PUSSEY!" storyline where Fantagraphics & Los Bros get their fat - way too funny in the midst of all that depressive art/life stuff!

Thanks for sharing your story.
