Daniel Robert Epstein: Joseph Michael Linser - Vampire's Christmas

DANIEL ROBERT EPSTEIN: Joseph Michael Linsner creator of Vampire's Christmas

Even though I’m Jewish I know a lot about Christmas mostly because comic books have been cramming it down my throat ever since I was a little kid. Nearly every single character from Lobo to Batman to Spider-Man has met Santa Claus at one point or another and I would venture to say that most of those stories were written by Jews.

Hi everyone,

Joe's last name has an odd spelling; it is spelled "Linsner" with two "n's" in it.

With the ability to paint, pencil and ink, all the a high degree of quality, he is possibly one of the best five illustrators in all comics. I also recommend the Crow Christmas story, by James O'Barr, if you can find it.

Hey,
Logged on this evening and saw my favorit artist on the front page! All I can say is Joe is quite possibly one of the greates artists of our time. Read up. It's all good.

I LOVE JML.

JML came to Hammerheads on Long Island, sometime in the early 90s and told me he was going to sue me if I used his "Dawn" character to promote my band. I was 16 at the time and Cry for Dawn was good. This new stuff is like a sober Al Jourgenson...
