With other writers, I've worked with Garth Ennis, he's a great writer. You need to have your creative territory. We both thought the same way, me and Alan. If he can tell you exactly what to do, what the hell are you doing there? If you're working as a team, not just as an individual artist, you need to both have your creative freedom, it's very important. Alan wasn't writing that sort of stuff, and if he had been, I would not have wanted to work with him. "Alan did not have this detailed style, and as we got closer to the end, I used to joke it got kind of wordy. "There's this legend that he writes this incredible detailed script," Lloyd continued. It was great stuff, I enjoy looking back on it." He was a great writer, and his scripts were good, and that's how we sort of worked together. We both knew each other from that, and we clicked pretty easily. The first thing I did with him was called 'Black Legacy.' I called him up to talk on the script, and we'd both worked on the same fanzine, called Shadow. "We were both working at Marvel's UK division," Lloyd reminisced. They say about anybody who's a genius, that they're kind of crazy." I don't think he's crazy, I think he's very committed to what he believes. When I'm asked about Alan, this thing about him being a magician comes up. It's not magic like pulling rabbits out of hats or supernatural stuff. Everyone says the stuff he's done for Wildstorm, 'Promethea,' it tells you everything you need to know about magic.

He's what they call a practicing magician, I don't know what that means. I think he sees different dimensions he can see from different guys. We haven't worked together since then, and he's always working with different artists. As for his legendary collaborator, Lloyd said, "Alan is a great guy, a terrific guy.
