![]() ![]() ![]() WaRP Graphics, at the time, had a deal with Starblaze Graphics to produce collections of its comics, and Sale was then given his first major penciling assignment, drawing Thieves' World, an adaptation of a different Aspirin work, a fantasy anthology where various authors would all tell stories set in a world created by Aspirin (under the theory that this way the other writers wouldn't have to spend any time doing world-building). ![]() In 1983, Sale got a gig inking Phil Foglio on WaRP Graphics' comic book adaptation of Robert Lynn Aspirin's MythAdventures novels. Sale then moved back to Seattle and that is where his career stalled a bit in the early 1980s, as he later noted, "I got discouraged in my 20s because the business was very New York-centric." Luckily for Sale, the 1980s was also the start of the direct market independent comic book boom, where the burgeoning direct market allowed for small comic book publishers to co-exist with the bigger companies like Marvel and DC. After initially attending the University of Washington for college, he then moved to New York to attend the School of Visual Arts where he took a comic book workshop taught by Marvel legend, John Buscema. Sale was born in Ithaca, NY, in 1956, but he grew up in Seattle, WA. ![]()
