CBA: What was Mike Sekowsky like? Dick Giordano: Mike Sekowsky was very often called “The Wild Russian” by a bunch of people. That comes close to an art description. He was a big bear of a man-wild hair. Though I never saw it I was told he had a fitful temper, really angry. Evidently everybody else did! We were having a ball on that Wonder Woman book! I really enjoyed that work! Everyone says that, “Well, Adams has to be the best stuff you inked.” I enjoyed the work I did on Sekowsky more. I enjoyed it more and thought it was more creative in a lot of ways. Adams’ stuff was for me, mostly tracing-he solved most of the problems so I was just there to put ink on his pencil lines. But Sekowsky was different. Even though I knew it was a rip-off of the Avengers TV show and I knew so at the time, it was fun! That was also part of this relevance thing that involved DC at the time-for some reason Carmine was so enamored of it-he got rid of powers, got rid of costumes (which I did with Teen Titans-that wasn’t my idea, but Carmine’s). Same thing with Wonder Woman. It was decided that she wasn’t to have a costume any more. We changed it so she always wore white sweaters and slacks. They took away her powers so we had to contrive stories like crazy. I don’t know what we did to make her a non-Amazon! ~ Dick Giordano Interview – TwoMorrows Publishing
