New York City had a progressive school system and I went to art school at the High School of Industrial Art-but they talked me out of taking the “comic books” course, saying that it wasn’t a viable field. I majored in illustration and advertising art, and I put together a portfolio (which I have to this day) that’s just loaded with drawings of handbags, couches and shirts. Fresh out of school in 1951, I coincidentally walked into an art studio that had just been rented by a comic book writer who recommended that I talk to Jerry Iger (whose shop was still operating at that time). I went over and got a job within minutes, stayed there for nine months, and went freelance thereafter. At Iger’s, I did grunt work: Erasing pages and, by the time I left, I was only inking backgrounds. I wasn’t very good at it, either. I learned on the job. ~ Dick Giordano Interview – TwoMorrows Publishing
