As a fan of Ladronn's work, it was wonderful to have a conversation with him about his career and to see his original pages in person.

What immediately impressed me was the small scale at which Ladronn was doing the FINAL INCAL pages. Ladronn is known for the immense detail he puts into every panel of his pages. Yet, his original art pages are only about 10% larger than a standard European comic album page. Looking at the pages up close, it was unfathomable how Ladronn balances detail and clarity, particularly at such a small scale.

Ladronn also showed us the meticulate wire-frame computer models he created of various rooms and spacecraft included in the FINAL INCAL. He'd often uses the models as reference for his final illustrations; but the models themselves were fully realized in both detail and proportion. Many of them were recreations of Moebius' original designs from previous books in the series. Ladronn was painstakingly faithful to Moebius' original designs... but he'd often have to design portions of the ships/rooms that were never shown in the comic.

I also had a nice conversation with him about his fondly remembered run on Marvel's Cable with Joe Casey. He mentioned that the first sample pages he sent to Marvel prior to getting hired had a very strong Moebius-influence. Marvel wasn't interested. The second time around, he decided to give his art a more Kirby aesthetic and finally got some attention from the Marvel editorial team.

Ladronn cringes a bit when he looks at the Cable art (I think he's crazy!). Beyond the Kirby influence, there was a lot of inspiration from Steranko (particularly in the AGENT 18: NEMESIS CONTRACT story). He said the guest-appearance of Black Panther and Klaw in issue #54 was a birthday gift from Casey. Casey had earlier asked Ladronn what were some of his favorite Marvel heroes and villains. Ladronn told him Black Panther and Klaw. On his birthday, Casey sent him the script for issue #54. Apparently, the Editorial stuff did not want Casey and Ladronn to have Black Panther appear in the Cable comic... but Casey fought long and hard to make it happen.

Overall, a very lovely evening with the entire Humanoids team and the amazing Ladronn!
