You may not be surprised to learn that most people in the comic business grew up reading comic books. However, you might be interested in knowing what they were reading. Here’s a look at “Famous Fanmail”!
William Stout has had work featured in comics, usually dealing with lizards or dinosaurs. His illustrations of dinosaurs have gone on to inspire the creators of movies like the Land Before Time and Jurassic Park. He was the production designer of the Masters of the Universe movie and has worked on at least thirty other films including Conan, Return of the Living Dead and the Prestige. With all these impressive credits to his name, he still finds time to keep up with independent comics once in a while. One such book was Don Marquez’s Fantastic Stories. It was published in 2001 by Amryl and adapted Professor Challenger stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Stout got a letter published in issue #2 (cover date: April 2002), which you can read below.
