Ben Templesmith

You know, I was doing I knew IDW did some creator-owned books.

30 Days a Night was a creator-owned book, for example, from Steve and Ben Temple Smith.

But I didn't really have any concept of what that meant, how to go about pitching.

I didn't know what a pitch looked like.

But when I look back on it, I see all the mistakes I was making trying to figure out how to actually do the job, you know, but still fun.

And for something like that, where it kind of has a basis, do you have to try to or do you find yourself kind of, I don't say imitating, but using that as a basis of how to draw for those books?

Ben Temple Smith was doing a really experimental style back then.

There was another artist doing Spawn stuff around the same time Ben Temple Smith got on Hellspawn.

12-Foot Skeleton, I talked about a little bit.

That's another one that's coming in October from Aaron Campbell, Tim Seeley, co-writing that one with Ben Templesmith doing the art.

And then the last one that we've announced coming up is Rampant Swine, which is our second series with Cy Spurrier.

Chris Mitten is doing the artwork for that.

And then finally, 12-foot skeleton number one, written by Tim Seeley.

We've got art by Ben Temple Smith.

Aaron Campbell's involved as well.

And yes, the premise really is one of those 12-foot Halloween lawn skeletons.
