No idea sorry. Too many brain cells back in time.

Bryan Hitch @bryanhitch.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

That would need me to start over from scratch and do it all again!

I was asked recently (non-officially) about whether I'd ever do a "Director's Cut" of the Ultimates. Apart from it being a product of its time, that time long passed and, as such, should be left alone; if I did, it would be about 30% shorter, not longer. I speak from my art p.o.v

Thanks James. We're all very proud of that one.

Bryan Hitch @bryanhitch.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

well, THAT page was the hardest I've had to work in a while. It's not time taken (though it did take a while) just all the moving parts and the way the figures had to function and many other factors. If I've done it right, the effort should be invisible and it will just read the way it needs to.

I'm only recently dealing with the ADHS diagnosis and realisation. I'm autistic and also bipolar. I have many regrets too, so many but knowing that a lot of it isn't something I did on purpose and wasn't actually a failure allows us, I think, to forgive ourselves a bit.

Bryan Hitch @bryanhitch.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Mine too. I can't tell you how much it's derailed my work and career over the decades.

Bryan Hitch @bryanhitch.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Somedays my brain wants to do absolutely anything but the thing it needs to.

I love my job. My mileage on my career varies for many, many reasons but Redcoat is such a pleasure. Some days are better than others but then you get an issue like issue 20 and I can't draw fast enough to get the pages out of my head.

The score for Hook remains one of Williams' most melodic. Originally intended and partly shot as a musical, JW composed all the songs. The tunes remain and form the basis of all the cues and why it remains, literally, his most lyrical. A quite wonderful score without the film that spawned it.

Bryan Hitch @bryanhitch.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Didn't care for the film. Loved the score.

Bryan Hitch @bryanhitch.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Daniel Pemberton's score for Masters of the Universe is an absolute delight. We all loved Flash Gordon and it's clearly been influential not least with Brian May providing some licks. It makes me smile.

I adore making comics, I really do and currently maybe more than ever. But if I could write music all day, every day, I'd be even happier. I still have the ambition to have a piece performed by an orchestra.

I hate working late. I like 'normal' sorts of hours, about 8-6. If I can start earlier I will and finish earlier too but sometimes the sheer volume of stuff that has to get done exceeds the hours available so, rarely, I'm just knocking off at 11 pm. Long day but very productive (and enjoyable).

The Joe Abercrombie First Law-World of-Age of Madness books really do need the GOT tv show treatment. I do rather prefer them anyway.

issue 19 of RC right now and it's my longest run on anything ever. Ultimates was 13 (admittedly extra sized) issues, so was Ultimates 2, Venom was 16 issues (a couple of extra sized ones there too). 476 pages of RC so far which is actually the equivalent of almost 29 Marvel or DC monthlies.

My exclusive variant cover for the Superman Spider-Man crossover. I believe it's available only through Fan Expo store orders but it was certainly fun to play in this sandbox.

there's nothing wrong with having a 'comfort zone' and working to constantly refine and excel at what you do within those parameters. And usually those parameters are defined by others not you. You're doing what you enjoy doing and nobody should be telling you to work outside of what you love doing.

I think temping causes diminishes for directors and composers alike. Producers and studios love it. Composers don't.

Star Wars was temped with that and other pieces (movies then were often temped with classical pieces which in 2001 became the score rather than what Alex North composed off them)

By the same token if you want to learn how to draw comics, just study how to draw anything from the perspective of not actually drawing comics. The thing that makes it a comic is the narrative not the drawing but if can draw anything, it means you can tell any story.

Bryan Hitch @bryanhitch.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

If anybody wants to learn how to write film music I'd suggest studying Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. Pretty much everything you need for anything in there from themes to texture and colour. Mind you, if there's one composer I can't ever do without it would be Vaughn-Williams

odd thing being 40 years in the biz. Many writers, artists, letterers, colourists & editors come up with you. Assistant editors become EiCs or publishers and creators reach new highs and new audiences. It's really lovely to see and reflect on. Then there are new generations to impress and inspire.

I have so far proceeded through life without being slapped. I was tutted at once though and have been the victim of an arched eyebrow on occasion

I just noticed that autocorrect got the better of that and what he actually said was "yeah I don't like your work" and moved on.

Bryan Hitch @bryanhitch.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

There's a guy who comes along to our GM full panels and works his way down the line enthusiastically until he gets to where I am and passes his books by me to the next in line "yeah, I only like your work..." and on with his enthusiasm of whomever is left in line. We decided to find it charming

Comic-book artists work fast. We do a lot of pictures in a day. Sometimes it's not perfect. Even Beethoven wrote an occasional stinker. I can live with it. The next picture can be better but we don't stop to take in the wounded ;)

this week I have done 14 pages of breakdowns, pencilled five covers and inked one of them. It appears to only be Wednesday so I feel I've earned an extra glass of wine.

Thanks. DC have a decades long standing policy of not buying any art or stories they haven't first commissioned no matter how much we'd want it. Marvel have bought spec covers many times but DC never does
