If and when I write a forward for a DEMON collection, I will tell how Jack created that entire comic in—this is not an exaggeration, it’s what was happening at that moment—the time it takes to get a hot turkey sandwich at a Howard Johnson’s restaurant. Asked earlier that day to come up with a macabre hero, Jack went to dinner with his family and friends (I was a friend) and he ordered, then sat there very quietly at the table, figuring out all the essentials of his next comic while he waited for the waitress to deliver his meal.
