We ended up doing six covers together, but we felt like a duo right away: Batman and Robin, or maybe Laurel and Hardy. He could play with me and take me to the edge and watch what I did, but pull me back before I fell over. Hunter loved having somebody like me along. He wanted somebody who would become part of the story. Usually, that meant his prose sucked, and my drawing wasn’t doing: a bit more than it should.
