Steve Dillon"[I]ve got so much workload that [I] work about 12 hours a day. The last thing [I] want to do when [I] finish is read comics. Its like what Garth was saying. [I] work and then do something completely different. [...] Its part of the job really to keep aware of what other people are doing. But I just really havent had the time to do anything else, anything else rather than the comic."
Steve Dillon was a British comic book artist, best known for his work with writer Garth Ennis on Hellblazer, Preacher and The Punisher.
"Steve Dillon was one of our best quiet dramatists."
"Dillon will be remembered as one of the best storytellers the comics medium has seen; and rightly so: because all he needed was an eye-level angle, a single point of focus, and his repertoire of facial expressions to take you from expansive sci-fi worlds to demons and vampires to a couple on the bed discussing their relationship— all using the same approach, all telling complete and interesting stories entirely visually. And maybe best of all: he made it seem so effortless; and thats the true thing well miss from comics, going forward. It wasnt brash, it wasnt showing off; but what it was was incredibly simple, incredibly economic, with incredibly well-crafted storytelling."
"[Preacher is] funny, dirty, a little bit frightening, but, ultimately, very satisfying—a bit like losing your virginity."
"I aim to find time in my schedule for a decent nights sleep without cutting into my drinking time."
"Superheroes, the best superheroes, tend to be more soap opera-ish -- like the X-Men, and the old Spiderman stuff. But, thats for a continuing-forever sort of series. Weve got a definite [Preacher] story thats got a definite finish, so soap opera is a bit of a disjointed term. But we do have the character subplot stuff going on."
"Steve was a great guy and a terrific talent. [...] One of those comic artists you could call a natural."
