Howard Chaykin is, by far, one of the most direct and outspoken people in comics and that’s why he’s one of Todd’s favorites. As a creator/writer/artist, Howard’s work on American Flagg, Black Kiss, and Hey, Kids! Comics! has given him the platforms on which to voice his opinions in a smart and entertaining way. On the same night Todd met Howard, they were later dumped into the trunk of an SUV and transported to an unknown location for drinks.
