How does a comic book artist, who never kept "kayfabe," have a "shoot" interview?

Just call it an interview.

Mind you, Grendel would have been a great pro wrestling gimmick.

Triple Helix is a follow-up to another mini-series Byrne did a year earlier called Trio. I read both not long after they came out and liked them well enough for what they were; the core concept of Trio specifically, i.e., three superheroes based on the rock, paper, scissors game, is kind of amusing.
As to the collected editions, yeah, there's two that are out of print and so quite expensive. I think IDW should have collected both in a single volume since there are only 8 issues.

Interesting--I always wondered what kind of editorial/art direction artists got from Dell, because there was an unmistakable house style in their non-cartoon books. Page layout and composition was always pretty straightforward, and less stylistic "tics" by artists compared to their work for DC or Marvel (thinking here of Sekowsky, Wood, Dominguez, Kane here--even Ditko).

GCD lists Mike Peppe as the inker. This blogger says that Steve Bissette contend that these are Alex Toth pencils, but I don't buy it. Maybe layouts, but that's definitely a Gil kane woman.

Apparently Gil Kane wanted Green Lantern’s costume to be green and blue, rather than the green and black that we got. I don’t think I’d ever read that before. If I had I’d forgotten it. I’m trying to picture it…And it ain’t working. I think Gil was wrong in that one.

He'd look too much like Captain Planet if that was the case


It kind of reminds me of Galactus' original colors of green and red

Just thank god they eventually changed it to purple and blue

I don't have AE #102 (drat!), so I don't know if what I'm posting here is just a repeat of what's in that issue, but Kane's green-blue GL costume was also mentioned (by Roy Thomas) in an earlier AE issue.

In AE #4 (published in early 2000, soon after Kane's passing), Roy wrote: 

"Under Julie, Gil scrapped the look of Martin Nodell's 1940s version of the hero, opting for what he meant to be a capeless green-and-blue outfit whose mid-section was intended to represent a "diamond shape." He [Kane] felt that early inkers never understood what he was trying to do, and in 1998 he told The Asbury Park Press: "They always made it look like a sleeveless sweater, which bothered me no end."...He was also bugged by the fact that either editor Julie or DC production manager Sol Harrison rejected the notion of a green and blue costume, opting instead for green and black.
(I [Roy] personally liked the costume green and black, and thought it looked best when the highlights in the black areas were left white. Still, it's a shame that, as the artist, Gil's wishes weren't taken more seriously. But that's the way the comics biz was at the time.)"
