Before we start any new interviews (the first of which is already recorded…), we have a repeat of part 1 of my interview with legendary author J.M. DeMatteis, starting at the beginning and going through to the genre-defining “Kraven’s Last Hunt.” (Part 2 next week, or can still be found in the archives)
J.M. DeMatteis (Don’t worry. Proper pronunciation is the first question)
We wrap up the very first interview done at Welcome to Geektown, covering Evan’s work on Ultimate Alliance 2, his time as a professor, as well as listener questions.
In Part 3 of the Evan Skolnick interview, we start on his time at Acclaim during the comic book bust, then move on to his video game career.
Continuing the re-run of older interviews in anticipation of the new interview format of the show, here’s part two of my talk with Evan Skolnick, focusing on his time with Marvel, and especially as the writer of the New Warriors.
We’re re-running the interview episodes that have already aired in anticipation of the new interview format for the show. First up, Evan Skolnick: writer, editor, and professor of video games!
But first, an apology...
My first interview (well, for this podcast. My very first interview was with Megan Mullaly, but I don’t have those tapes)
An example of Evan’s self-deprecating humor, as he created Khaos, then sent him up the river in this roast…
A comparison of pre-computer coloring (left), and Marvel’s first computer colored book (right). Many more gradients, and that was just the start…
