"In early 2005, during my early research on Hanks, I contacted Will Eisner. Initially all he recollected was the Hanks drew "in the style of early Basil Wolverton". When pressed, Eisner recalled that Hanks was older than the majority of those in his ballpen who were mostly in their late teens, and that he did not hang around the studio much.
"There is one thing I do remember about him," Eisner told me, "He wrote, penciled, inked, and lettered his own work."
"Anything else?" I asked.
"And he got it in on time!" Eisner said.
"anything else?" I asked.
"Frankly nothing else really mattered," replied Eisner.
