What is the crown jewel in your personal collection?

I do have a complete run of Teen Titans from their first print to Secret Origins to now, even though I’m not a big fan of the Essential series. I’m kind of just collecting out of the completist sense.

Is there a gem out there that you’re hunting for?

Showcase No. 4, the first appearance of the Barry Allen Flash. Flash Comics No. 1, which is the first golden-age Flash comic. Walt Disney’s Comics and Stories No. 1—I have it, but it’s in very ratty condition. It’s probably only worth $200. A very fine copy would be like $80,000.

You’re an illustrator yourself. Who are your favorite artists?

To go from earliest to latest: There’s always, you know, Winsor McCay, Walt Kelly, Al Capp. Will Eisner, Edward Gorey, Marc Davis. For the more typical superhero artists, George Perez, Carl Barks and Don Rosa. Tim Burton. Theodore Geisel.

Also:

What are your top three favorite wizards?

Gandalf’s definitely on the list. Trying to pick my favorite Harry Potter wizard, I can easily go with Dumbledore. I always liked Professor Lupin. I’ll put him on the list. [A day after the interview, Lopez asked via his publicist to take Lupin off his list and replace him with Hermione Granger.]

I got to pick a Disney wizard. Can I pick Angela Lansbury in Bedknobs and Broomsticks?

Angela Lansbury?

She’s not a particularly great wizard, but I just love that movie so much. Maybe it’s the combination of her and David Tomlinson’s character. Those are my three.

that's not even the least ballery thing from that interview [conducted by my buddy matt, fwiw, gj matt], the bit about the wizards is just insane xp ha

like that he was thinking about the question after the interview was over and it was bugging him enough that the next day he texted his publicist and was like "hey man get back to the willy week about the wizards, i just can't not have hermione on that list of my favorite wizards, i've got to be real about this."

That is awesome.

while it isn't a stretch for a baller to be into comics it's the fact that he names the like of winsor mccay and walt kelly. that's impressive.

nice.

[A day after the interview, Lopez asked via his publicist to take Lupin off his list and replace him with Hermione Granger.]

in retrospect its obvious but it never wouldve occurred to me that you could just ask someone who their favorite wizards are and theyd come up w a list for you

favorite wizards!

How many comics do you own?

Not as many as Brook. He’s pretty much collecting everything DC Comics publishes right now. I have two or three titles I’ve collected and tried to complete those runs.

You’ve said since Brook signed such a huge contract with the Nets, he’s now just blowing it on comics.

With comic books, for the most part, it’s not a costly addiction. It’s not like Fabergé eggs.

Brook: Yo Nets my leg is broken... Yep... Out for the season... Okay cool... See ya in the offseason... *spends next 6 months under the covers w/ a flashlight and a stack of comic books*

so robin lopez is like a character from unbreakable

lol both brothers

[A day after the interview, Lopez asked via his publicist to take Lupin off his list and replace him with Hermione Granger.]

the more i think about this the more i think it's probably up there with my favorite details from any interview i've ever read

its so good

For the more typical superhero artists, George Perez, Carl Barks and Don Rosa.

I'm gonna give the credit to Fropez

B/R: Your player profile at Louisville lists spaghetti with ranch and sugar as one of your favorite foods. That seems like a peculiar combination…how did you stumble on that?

TR: Well, spaghetti is good with ranch, and spaghetti is good with sugar. You put all of that together and make a sandwich out of it and you get greatness. People shouldn’t judge unless they try it. Spaghetti can last a month in our house. You make a big pot, and it can last the whole week.
