SPX: McCloud-Clan Trivia
Here is a piece of McCloud trivia I heard twice over the weekend. You see the panel above? Most of you should recognize it as the last panel in Scott McCloud’s “Understanding Comics.” In the panel you see Scott, and then Ivy holding their first born, Sky.
Ivy told me this weekend that Sky’s “release date” and the book’s “release date” are actually two weeks apart and that the book came out first. However, Scott chose to draw Sky as a new born because he didn’t want his wife immortalized in a pregnant state. She said he felt it was bad luck. She also said that the proof that the book came first is the fact that Scott drew Sky as a bald baby becuase apparently she has always had a full head of hair.
