Dan Parsons

"The inker takes the penciler's work and finishes it in ink. The pencils may be very rough breakdowns or very tight. When I inked Greg (The Flash) LaRocque's pencils they were very loose. Jan [Duursema's] Star Wars pencils are usually more finished, but it is always up to the inker to interpret rather than trace the lines of the penciler."
