Deletion of explanation of Janson/Miller no longer collaborating

I see no reason why this sentence was deleted. I think it adds to the article and is very interesting to fans of both artists. For this reason I am undoing the last edit. If person deleting the sentence disagrees with it or finds it irrelevant, please indicate your reasoning on the discussion page. --Markisgreen 20:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTGOSSIP

This has been deleted because after three years (!), no one has provided a reliable source for it. Janson may have simply decided that he didn't want to spend the rest of his career as "Frank Miller's inker". I don't know, you don't know, and until either Miller or Janson give an answer in an interview, this idle gossip doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article.

Material in need of sourcing

I moved the following unsourced information here, until it can be sourced:

Born in Coburg, Germany. He emigrated to America as a young boy and grew up in Bridgeport Connecticut, where he went to Kolbe High School, graduating in 1970. In his teens he met and began working as an assistant to Dick Giordano.

Janson's initial style was very similar to the fluidly high-contrast style of mentor Dick Giordano, but he quickly developed a much looser, highly textural and distinctive inking style. The similarity of his art to that of Frank Miller can mostly be traced to their collaboration, during which Miller refined his own style based on the artistic decisions Janson made as the inker of Miller's artwork.
