DC Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee, a renowned comic book artist who co-created the X-Men character Gambit for Marvel and co-founded Image Comics, recounted his humbling first-ever Comic Con when he was still an up-and-comer in the industry.
Lee was drawing original sketches of superheroes he’s drawn time and time again, such as Hulk and Batman, which were being projected on big screens while he was giving a talk at Rose City Comic Con in Portland, Oregon. When one fan asked if he ever got nervous drawing in front of people, Lee said, “It’s always a little bit of butterflies.” This brought the artist down memory lane to recount his first ever Comic Con experience in San Diego back in 1987, where he would do commission work for a fairly low rate compared to what he could probably make today, given his enormous reputation.
