Back in 1996, nobody gave a crap about Steve Epting. I always liked his work but had heard quite a few people disparage him over the years (mostly, I suspect, because his early stuff wasn't especially good.)
Epting developed into a great comic artist and is one of the most influential figures of the last 10 years. There's almost a cottage industry inside Marvel devoted to knocking off his style. At last year's HeroesCon his line for autographs was so long that I didn't bother trying to meet him. When I got this sketch back in 1996, though, when there were no lines.
