You have little respect for him? Or you just aren't a fan? Respect denotes personal knowledge of someone doesn't it? Maybe that's just how I take the word, it's a pretty significant to me, my respect for someone else.

Not liking an artist has zero to do with respect to me.

He's basically entered the NYT best seller list multiple times in a genre that gets very little play there. His audience is world wide, and ya I am biased because I am a fan, but his talent is irrefutable imo. The guy knows how to make iconic characters and memorable worlds, far more than I could ever do with a pencil and paper.
