Mignola was not an artistic prodigy, and his early career as a comic book inker, was as he will describe it, pretty much a failure early on. It is a celebration of determination and hard work, as he was not a huge success out of the gate. He’s a complicated, proud, and prickly man. Though the film clearly shows the admiration of the directors of this film, and it bolsters his reputation with numerous testimonials, it is alco clear that this underdog story isn’t a fluff piece. And yet, you can look at his images, peering into the darkness and get lots of texture and nuance from them. Huge swaths of black ink punctuated with a figure slhouetted by moonlight and a tombstone or a tenatacle in the periphery, he knew how to do a ton with very little. Minimalistic in both linework and prose, what draws you to his work is the high contrast play of light and shadow. As both a horror and comic book fan, I was eager to watch the story unfold of one of modern comic’s true artistic masters.

Who defines that? Where is the line drawn between what is right and wrong? This is an underlying theme in the graphic novel.

I didn't care -I just wanted to be on stage. I played Peter Pan, Miss Hannigan in Annie, Benny Southstreet in Guys and Dolls, the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, and lots of extremely memorable chorus parts-for instance, I was "girl number two" in Fiddler on the Roof-the one who said "We heard about your sister, Chava".
