Matthieu-David:
Which artists influenced you the most ? And what
are your influences in general ?

would say Neal Adams was one of my first influences. In

magazine, advertising and book world.

M-D:
Is there an artist you would you love to work with ?
(writer, inker or colourist )
D.T.:
I
would love to work with Don McGregor or Charles Holland
again. I also really enjoyed working with Paul Jenkins.

|
M-D: On which comic book would you like to work or is there a specific
character that you would like to work on (
can even be a dream project )?
D.T.:
I
would love to work on my own creation Butcher
Knight when time is available. Of all the
mainstream characters I’ve done, The Hulk is
high on the list. I think Spawn, Wolverine and
Black Panther would also be lots of fun.

M-D: If you hadn’t worked in comics, what would you have done for a
living ?
D.T.: I
would have wanted to paint for a living. My original plan
was to paint movie posters and portraits. I might starve but
I could paint lots of nude girls.
|
|
M-D:
If you were a comic book character, who would you be ?
and why ?
D.T.:
It
would be the Hulk. The obvious reason is I could do serious
damage to anything standing in my way. The other answer is
that I would never have to worry about what clothes to wear.
With magic purple pants who needs to think about clothes.

|
|
|
M-D: Is there a comic book character that you really can’t stand ?
which one and why ?
D.T.:
I
can't stand whatever character I am drawing when my
deadline is really tight. Nothing is fun when the schedule
is really squeezing you.
|
|
M-D: What is your best achievement so far ?
D.T.:
Personally
in comics getting Butcher KNight done is my best achievement.
Spawn and Wolverine are a close second and third.

|
|
|
M-D: you worked on a lot of titles from “Power of the atom”
to “ Authority” , on which title did you have the most
creative freedom ?

No
doubt it was Spawn. It was also the most fun.

What surprised you the most when you arrived in Paris ?

there with no problem. I love the city, the architecture the
people everything.

M-D: Is there a question no one ever asked you in interview
and what would be the answer ?

No
one has ever asked me if I’ve ever hung out with Bob
Guccione and his Penthouse pets. And the answer would be YES!
