[quote=“Maybury”]In both instances Joe’s written stories that riff of classic methods that are dear to him. I love the challenge of stretching my own abilitie,s and I get to develop all sorts of new storytelling muscles on these projects.
Joe’s known for packing a cosmic punch with his stories, but I can’t wait for people to find out how down to earth Valhalla Mad is in contrast.[/quote]

In terms of the vernacular… I can tell you that it ain’t easy coming up with that stuff and making it sound authentic. Even in its pomposity, there’s an authenticity that has to be there, otherwise it’s just too ridiculous.
As it is, it’s still ridiculous, but in the best possible way.[/quote]
