Stan Lee interviews Rob Liefeld

EXTREEEEMEEE!!

Back in the 90s, comic book legend Stan Lee had a little video show were he used to interview other comic authors. It was called Comic Book Greats.

Well, since I watched some videos about Rob Liefeld not long ago (posted on the blog last week), I watched this interview Stan Lee did of Liefeld.

Very interesting video I posted below and thought it would be nice to have on the blog.
You may hate his style or the guy himself, but there's no denying this guy was genuinely in love with the medium and helped up boost sales during the 90s.
And the real problem with Leifeld is in my eyes how people kept buying more and more, and asking for even more, various artists trying to imitate his art style or copying it...and the whole industry went into this EXTREEEME!! direction just to emulate what this very young artists was doing.


Anyway, here's the whole parts of this interview, have fun (Rob draws live in the last part)









I wouldn't call him my favorite artists, a great one nor the worst artist ever... He was young, the things happened so fast and all that.. But at least he loves what he does and enjoys comics. Most haters are probably just jaleous :/
