Platt's an interesting guy.
He was at our Fan Expo here a couple years ago. He wasn't too busy, so I got to chat with him a bit, and got him to start a sketch. He said he had started by going to some famous Advertising School, and then somehow got in to comics after he had finished there, because his strength was in illustration. He doesn't do much with comics now because he keeps quite busy with film work. I believe he did the layouts for the opening credits for the Ninja Turtles Movies, and some stuff for Godzilla, and various others. He didn't finish the sketch at the show, and I ended up getting the finished piece about 18 months later.
