For this San Diego Comic-Con 2003, I continued showing my work to my favorite artists, but I stopped worrying so much about advice, and began asking if they would do a pin-up for my comics.\u00a0\u00a0I had my first three Dick Ayers-inked Doris Danger pages<\/a> complete to shop around.<\/p>\n

All three Hernandez Brothers were sitting together at the Fantagraphics table. They each said, individually, they would be interested in doing a pin-up. All of them had their emails posted in their Love and Rockets books, and said to contact them that way.<\/p>\n

I sent emails to all of them at once, and I believe Mario was quickest to get back to me. He was really friendly and fun with his correspondence, and excited to do the project from the start. It took him a few months to do the piece for me, and he even apologized for taking so long, although it was really a very reasonable time he managed to get it out. I wasn\u2019t in a hurry, because I was planning to have it in the third issue, and I hadn\u2019t even gotten the first issue into stores yet, and I knew I would be putting the books out quarterly.<\/p>\n

Gilbert was much quieter with his emails, and basically just named a price, and then I didn\u2019t hear from him for a while. In my typical paranoid fashion, I began to think that the reason I didn\u2019t hear from him is that I accidentally mistyped his name in my email. And I really did spell his name wrong. It read \u201cGiblert.\u201d Then one day, a plain white envelope with my own address listed as the return address came in the mail. I opened it, and there was a Xerox copy of Klogg: The Thing from the Sink, the pin-up he had done for me. He said if I liked it, send him a check to his address, and he would send me the original. So I basically never corresponded with him. I just told him I wanted the piece, and then he did the piece, and then he sent me the piece.<\/p>\n

So at this stage I had two out of three Hernandez monster pin-ups, and Jaime had yet to write me back. So I emailed Gilbert and Mario, and asked them to be sure and tell Jaime what a nice guy I was. Mario warned me that Jaime doesn\u2019t even return his (Mario\u2019s) emails \u2014 his own brother. He\u2019s just reclusive, and hard to get in touch with. And still no word from Jaime.<\/p>\n
