Fast forward ten years to IX 2018. This time around I caught up with the legendary, Jim Steranko! Jim took Marvel’s Nick Fury into the psychedelic sixties with his groundbreaking art style and was the backbone of Stan Lee’s Bullpen when it came to connecting to the groovy culture. An amazing man who was once an escape artist! I first met Jim at IX 2016 and he stopped by once more to shoot the breeze about art, proving again his vice-like grip of steel.
