Letters, We’ve Got Letters!
By Marv Wolfman

From: Timothy_LaClair@idx.com

I'm a long time fan; thanks for all the years of great comics. I had a question, though, about Marv Wolfman the artist. I seem to remember a feature, maybe in a Titans annual or Special, that George wrote and you drew. OK, so it wasn't Perez quality art, but how much is? As I recall, though, it was quite decent. Is/was there any time in your career that you considered drawing as well as writing? Just curious; I think you could pull it off.

Every so often, Timothy, I actually get asked that question, not because of the Who’s Who Plasmus piece I drew (made professional by George’s inks) but because I used to be an art teacher in Junior High School before becoming a full time writer. I did write comics to earn my way through college, but it was only after teaching that, until recently, all my time was spent writing. As for being an artist, sad to say I was mediocre at best. I may have been able to eke out a few jobs here or there but that is about all. I was a better inker than a penciller, but I was hardly professional at either. I think I made the right choice doing what I do (whatever that is) and letting people with real talent pick up the pencil, or these days, the computer stylus.
