RICHARD: Just remember not to draw Tom Cruise looking gay! He really, really doesn't like that... which brings me onto your artwork. You're famed for expressing extremes of bodily forms, emphasizing secondary sexual characteristics (breasts, muscles, legs) without actually shoving genitals in people's faces. Soft-core superheroes is one expression I've heard. Do you see a sexual aspect in the work you create, or is it all in the dirty mind of the reader?

ALAN MOORE'S JUDGMENT DAY

ROB: Uh.I'm gonna skip this one. Thanks though.

RICHARD: Ah dammit. You see, you cop out when the going is good. Right. We see Youngblood Bloodsport and other Arcade Comics being distributed through Diamond again. There were some rumours that Diamond refused to distribute your work at some point - were they ever rue? What happened between you and Diamond? And why the reconciliation?

ROB: Nothing has ever transpired. It is a persistent but truly baseless rumor.

RICHARD: Damn.

ROB: I wanted to self distribute and I did and will continue to do so. It's fun if you have the time. We moved 30,000 books by ourselves. I was impressed. Store to store, convention to convention. We got some big help along the way from great retailers like Chuck Rozanski at Mile High and so many others. We're sending the remains of our inventory on our first 2 books through Diamond as well as plenty of new product. The time just feels right.
