Impressed with a brochure from the Joe Kubert School, Steve interviewed with the legend. Joe Kubert bought 3 figurines on the spot. Steve adds, "Whenever I see Joe, he always says, "I still got those clay figures you sold me!" Steve never misses an opportunity to mention what an inspiration Joe was to him. In 1994, Steve began to work in the professional comics field, securing a day job in DC Comics' bullpen and working on his own freelance projects at night. By 1998, Steve left DC to freelance full time and has been doing so ever since. Credits include, Batman Black and White, Warlash.
