El autor, fan de los cómics Marvel desde su Silver Age, ha recordado como el impactó en su día la historia de Wonder Man y su sacrificio original.
¡Pues ya está tardando Alonso en ficharlo de guionista en cuanto acabe los libros!
“Wonder Man is this character who comes in and he joins the Avengers, he’s this great hero, he’s really powerful, he joins the Avengers, but he’s secretly a bad guy who’s been planted in the Avengers to destroy them from within. But when the moment comes, where he’s supposed to betray them and destroy them, he come to like them so much by being a spy among them he can’t bring himself to do it, instead he sacrifices himself and dies at the end of the issue. Of course I loved this, even at the age of twelve or thirteen or whatever it was. Everything about this issue appealed to me.
And I look at it and, well, there’s my literary influence right there it’s Stan Lee, there’s this great character, who you think he’s good but really he’s evil, but at the end he’s really good but then he gives up his life and dies for it. Of course they ruined it by bringing him back in later issues. But at the time I wrote the letter, I didn’t know that, I thought he’d died. So maybe Stan Lee is my biggest literary influence on me, even more that Tolkien or Shakespeare or Sir Walter Scott or any of them.”
