Sergio Cariello films Joe Kubert part 6 of 6

A few days ago I asked Joe if it'd be ok to share this video on Youtube
and he kindly said "Of Course"!
The year is1992. Joe already had stopped teaching first and second year students at that year in his school.He only taught the 3rd year
fortunates!
But that didn't stop ME to have him teach my 2nd year class, after school hours, in an exclusive session
with the Rock of comics, not in a classroom, but at his own studio, where we had the unique chance to see his originals,
ask him questions and feed our eagerly hungry brains for knowledge and wisdom from the Master of his turf: Joe Kubert!
The original video was too long so this is part 6 of maybe 6 videos. I used a very obsolete, huge clunky video camera with VHS. The sound is poor.There is nothing professional about
the process for which I froze this moment, except the main character of this film!
When I approached Joe to do this, he said:"IF you get 15 to 20 students willing to do this, have them write down their names on paper and the characters
they'd like me to bring and I'll do it. It was an unforgettable, priceless hour and a half for me!! Not too long after that I ended up getting hired by Marvel as a ghost letterer, became a freelancer pro in the business and then returned to Joe's school as a part time instructor, while being busy in comics myself.
And I kept close proximity to my forever teacher. Plenty of occasional visits to his studio, always checking what he was working on during the seven years I remained
lecturing at the Kubert school. And I cannot forget the great times during Wednesdays lunch break, where Joe, Hy Eisman, Irwin Hasen and a few of us Instructors sat together and enjoined
ourselves. Irwin always made us all laugh, especially Joe. Even though I'm now a few hundred miles away I still keep in contact with whom I can call my friend and I never cease to learn from him.
