Show Notes
This is Part Two of The Milestone Story, and this time the spotlight is on Denys Cowan ,Milestone co-founder, artist, editor, and one of the most distinctive visual storytellers in comics.
We continue the story of Milestone from Denys’s perspective: how the company came together, what he and the other founders wanted to change about the comics business, and why the characters they created still resonate more than thirty years later.
But this conversation also goes well beyond Milestone.Denys looks back at his own art career, from his early days breaking into comics to major work on characters like The Question, Deathlok, and Batman, and the artists, editors, and experiences that helped shape his unmistakable style.We talk about the craft of drawing comics, the evolution of his work, and how being both an artist and a co-founder gave him a unique perspective on what Milestone could become.
