I stumbled on this amazing talk (almost 2hrs long) with Frank Miller and Klaus Janson.

"SVA Library and SVA Cartoon Allies presents 100 Years of Genius: The Life and Legacy of Will Eisner, an intimate conversation between Frank Miller and Klaus Janson, who will discuss the pioneering comics-industry legend and former SVA faculty member Will Eisner."

I was so happy to find it, and I really enjoy getting to know these two talented artists just a bit better, it's always fun to learn who the people are behind those great drawings!

As it relates to JB, Miller had some nice comments about John and Terry's work at the 36:28 mark on the video. I'm about half way through the talk, looking forward to finishing it tonight.

Thanks for posting, nice to hear these guys' stories.

"Disciple is critical and I find that routine is your best friend." Frank knows how to be a pro. Sad that so many superstars that followed didn't learn this lesson.

I've heard Klaus Janson speak a few times and he really comes across well, in my opnion. A good spokesperson for the comic artform.

Some of Frank`s Daredevil splash pages definitely had an
Eisner Spirit vibe.
