Everyone stop what the hell you’re doing and appreciate the genius that is James Stokoe’s Spider-Nam fan comic.

An excellent idea, with fantastic art. I love that he’s just doing this for his own enjoyment, with no intention if it being published.

Now, as an adult, do you necessarily regret the graffiti you did? Do you think it was dumb and risky, and would you tell your kids (if you ever had any) not to do it?

I once fucked up a school mural with tags when I was really young and I regret that but for the most part I think I needed to be a dumb kid to learn some things.

I think graffiti is an important culture that I was glad to be part of and around it in whatever tiny way. It helped me build a lot of my ideas about art.

I think you’re supposed to do dumb and risky stuff when you’re a kid–I think it’s more about what you learn from fucking up rather than not fucking up.

If you were offered the chance to do a Rom book, would you? Because I think you'd be aces on it.

Thanks. 

I drew a Rom pin up back in 2007 as part of a Floating world show to raise money for Bill 

Mantlo (who did the Rom comics with Sal Buscema.)It was fun to come up with the future gang that Rom would hang out with and have space adventures with.

The only way I’d do a full on Rom comic is if it was public domain or owned by Bing McCoy, mantlo and Buscema (or their families) not to be a stick in the mud but I don’t wanna do work for any comic not owned by it’s creator. 

Have you ever considered a spin off for moontoone and sunshine? I think it's a good way to continue multiple warheads after you are finished with sexica and nico

Yeah, I had the epiphany watching Adventure time episodes that I could just jump around from character to character in Warheads and use that to build up the world. I think after the 95 page Ghost town story I’m dong now- I’ll do some shorter 20- 30 page things about different characters. I wanna bring back Nura, there’s no Nura in Ghost town. (but there is a lot of Sunshine and Moontoone)
