01/28 - Marco Checchetto Interview

David Harper at Sktchd.com has a new interview with DAREDEVIL artist Marco Checchetto.

An excerpt:

I love drawing sad and melancholic characters. You know, the kind of gloomy characters (who are like) gargoyles when it’s raining. Spider-Man is my favorite character and the stories I like the most about him are his sad or tragic stories. Daredevil is like Spidey but his stories are always gloomy and gruesome. (laughs) I am a happy and smiling person and I love sharing time with my friends. But when I’m working, I like sadness and darker tones.

I’m so lucky to work with Chip Zdarsky. At first I was a little worried because Chip is crazy. He wrote a lot of funny stories. I loved his run on Spectacular Spider-Man. But when my editors (told) me he was working on Daredevil, I was a bit skeptical.

I was wrong! Chip is writing the best Daredevil (run) possible for me. He’s so dark and the feel is the same from the Miller/Nocenti runs, the best moment for the character, in my opinion. So, when I read the script I decided to take back the same atmosphere in the art too.

We have the same vision for Daredevil and we are working very well together.
