Gurrrl!!

Ungh. Aaron drawing Wonder Woman will ALWAYS be one of my favorite things.

This is the story…he was coming over to DC, I think Dan DiDio grabbed him up, and he asked Aaron to do the WW book with me. I was not familiar with his work, but was willing to give him a look.

And of course, after seeing like, two pages of his Marvel work, I was ecstatic.

The problem was, Aaron was not really a Wonder Woman fan.

And that was a worry. Dozens of great artists are dying to draw her. Aaron was such a pro that the reader would never know that, but that was true, he wasn’t a fan yet.

So, this worried me…so I asked him what he loved to draw the most, and he said, immediately, “barbarians and monsters.”

So, SCORE, I wrote an arc with NOTHING but barbarians and monsters and he KILLED on the art, he SLAYED it. Couldn’t have asked for better. 
By that time, I think Diana got into his heart, because he just knocked every issue out of the park and his version of the character got more and more human, more and more real, every issue.

Now when I see an Aaron Wonder Woman sketch, I can feel the love he has for her. I mean, LOOK at her, here!

So THAT worked out well. LOVE YA, AARON!
