Q&A With BOOTSTRAPS Artist Alan Gallo

Here it is a little Chit Chat 5 question
exchange between me, and ERIK
HOFFMAN's collaborator on YOU'll
NEVER BE A PUBLISHED WAR
WRITER!! TM .....

1) So what is your full name? Or are
you going to hide behind your first
name like your writing partner?

My full name is Alan Gallo
(note 1 L on Alan, hehehe),
I'm proud of my dad.

2) LOL. I've seen your rough pencils
so far on WAR, they are quite amazing.
Tell me how it was you ended up
drawing comics?

I graduated from architecture school
here in the Philippines, and while
preparing for my apprenticeship,
I noticed that my boss wasn't paying
me enough. So I might as well try
something I like, and earn some extra
cash.

3) So what was some of your fondest
comic book related memories growing
up?

Discovering Marc Silvestri! Man that
guy's GOOD!!!! Killer Instinct Crossover
between WildCats and Cyber Force,
followed his artwork ever since.

4) If you had the chance to work on any
one book, besides YOU'LL NEVER BE A
PUBLISHED WAR WRITER!! TM
what book would it be? and why?

That would be Batman (who wouldn't),
I like the character (doesn't get any
better than that). Playing with shadows
through the art would be very interesting.

5) Finally, what is your most embarassing
comic book related experience? Or if you
prefer what one thing would you want
people reading this to know about you?

Being rejected by a local magazine here,
and then they published some kid's doodle
the next issue. Man that burns.

Ouch that had to hurt. well Alan thanks
for taking the time to talk to me...I'm sure
we'll talk again later on down the line....
