Description

WC “Cory” Carani was a long time inker of comics, working for the likes of DC Comics, Marvel, and Wildstorm over the course of about a decade. I knew him best as the then-current inker on DC’s Legionnaires series.

I had met Cory the previous year’s Comicon, and really got the chance to get to know him, both at his table and at the Legion Fan Dinner, which was a great way to eat with and get to know the creators of the comic. I tried to commission a sketch from him at the ’97 con, but his list was already too full. I was disappointed, but it wasn’t the end of the world.

I once again attended the Legion Fan Dinner that year, and he sat at the same table as me. I had brought along my sketchbook, and gave it to him to look through it. He then proceeded to do a really quick sketch of his favorite Legionnaire, XS.

You may be thinking this doesn’t look very much like a really quick sketch. That’s true. About a year later I had sent him my sketchbook (see his later entry for more information why) and when he sent it back, he told me he wasn’t happy with the drawing, so he inked it for me in addition to the other he did. He told me that way I have a sample of both his ink and his pencil work.
