HOWARD CHAYKIN ON GUY GARDNER: COLLATERAL DAMAGE



Little
did Howard Chaykin know that a cover he produced years ago would lead
to work today. That’s the base story behind how the creator landed on
Guy Gardner: Collateral Damage a two-issue (48 pages each)
miniseries debuting in November.

“Dan Didio had approached
me and said that, for him, the archetypal image of Guy Gardner was
a cover that I’d done for Andy Helfer years and years ago[Green Lantern #196],” Chaykin
said. “He felt that was the pivotal image in his head to what the
character was all about – as a character, not necessarily as a drawing,
but as a character. He asked if I’d be interested in returning to
it.”

So Chaykin started turning
the idea of the character – as well as his place in the current
DCU – over and over in his head.
