N. E.: Will we see you in Erlangen 2006?
G. D.: Yes I think so.
N. E.: You are very generous to your fans. You give away really great sketches and artwork. Do you have a favorite character for convention sketches?
G. D.: I'm generous, because the people are generous with me, it's a pleasure to show and to give some arts at the conventions. I have no favourite character to draw for convention sketches! I love unusual ones!

N. E.: I heard that BANE will appear in BATMAN: EUROPA. Will he be one of the good guys or will he become bad again? In the current (monthly) continuity BANE and BATMAN are partners.
G. D.: Bane, Poison Ivy, the Joker, the Penguin, etc, etc... I don't follow the monthly series... and the script is still secret.
