I wish I had known or been asked to contribute because Liberty Meadows is certainly an early influence on my work. I first met Frank Cho at an appearance he did with Playboy Playmate Tiffany Taylor at a comic shop in Georgetown while I was in my college years. My comic, Curls, was even likened to Liberty Meadows by a reviewer at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.curls-studio.com\/curls\/?p=1331\" target=\"_blank\">Starburst Magazine<\/a>.
