The fangirl-focused webzine, PinkRaygun.com, recently interviewed Steve at a signing event in Tuscon.

PRG: Do you like to do full scripts or Marvel method?

SN: I do full scripts. But, if its a new artist, they get the torturous, paragraph-per-panel descriptions. Then as I get used to them, I develop kind of a shorthand. I’ve been doing some stuff with Bill Sienkewicz recently and found that giving him a tight script was the worst thing in the world. I’ll do the scenes I need tight, then I’ll do Marvel style and do a loose page description, then go back to the other way. For Bernie, I do 22 pages of tight script, but he does 26 pages of art. He pulls his own splash pages. Then I re-script after he does it.

It’s really figuring out the best way to work with each artist. I feel like my job is half cheerleader and I have to get these guys to want to draw this stuff. God knows, its got to be hard doing 22 pages of art like that every month. My job is to write whatever will motivate them to get it done.
