Thread: Who are your main influences?

My influence, and, hell....he's even one of my idol's, is Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series. The first time I read one of his novels, I was hooked!!! The man's awesome at writing fantasy/comedy stuff, which is, pretty much, what I write. People have even compared my writing to both him AND Tolkien. So, ya...he rules.

I'm kinda influenced from a lot of directions. H. P. Lovecraft, Raymond Chandler, Douglas Adams, Anthony Burgess, Brian Michael Bendis, Robert Anton Wilson, Stan Lee, Aaron Sorkin, Grant Morrison, Steve Gerber, Gail Simone, Peter Milligan, Sam Kieth, Dashiell Hammett, Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov... A lot of directions.
