Steve talkse comics, partnerships and The Tripper with The Comic Book Bin

July 24th, 2007 by Administrator

The Comic Book Bin recently interviewed Steve and talked about his start in the comics industry, working in different genres, the various collaborations he’s had with other creators, The Tripper and more!

CBB: Tell us about your start in the industry. You worked at Horror Online prior to working in comics, correct? How did that lead to where you are now?

SN: I got my start pretty early, when I was around 17-18. I was playing in a band at the time and we’d put out our own records and put of shows ourselves, book tours, so when I decided to try doing some comics I started my own publishing company called Arcane Comix. I was a terrible business man, but I managed to put out a few books and set of lithographs (Clive Barker Books of Blood covers) before I folded and used Arcane as a label for packaging books with Eclipse Comics. I did I AM LEGEND there and FRITZ LANG’S M and a tone of Barker material. Horror Online was a brief pit stop between getting fired from Disney and starting to work for McFarlane. How I wound up here is anybody’s guess. I just kept at out of stubbornness and lack of other options as much as anything, but I’m glad I wound up here.

CBB: Were you always interested in writing comics? Was working in comics part of your career plan?

SN: I developed a love of films, comics and music at a really young age and I always wanted to do something either in writing or film. I never thought I’d be in comics. I thought I’d just be a fan and collector who wrote things on the side, but I’m happy to have a career in writing. I’m very lucky.
