Interview with yours truly from the fine folks at entervoidex!

entervoidex:

First, thank you for agreeing to this interview.

Now as a first time introduction to the people of EnterVOID, tell us a little about yourself.

Greg Pak: I’m a comic book writer and filmmaker best known for the feature film “Robot Stories” and comic book storylines such as “Planet Hulk,” “Dead…

“Dead Man’s Run” #1, coming January 18! Ask your local retailer to hold a copy for you!

Finally saw “Fantastic Mr. Fox” over the holidays. And yeah, I loved the wolf. So here’s my sketch for the day.

I’m challenging myself to sketch something every week this coming year. ‘Cause it’s fun and ‘cause I think I’ll learn something. 

I started with Atomic Robo, created by Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener, because I love the book and robots are easy to draw.

What did I learn?

Atomic Robo has great character design. The lines running down from the eyes hint at tear-tracks and, probably on a subliminal level, help make the character sympathetic.

And I love the way Wegener uses the eye lens caps for emotion/attitude/expression. I took a shot at evoking an emotion in the images above — can you guess what it is?

Amazing. Kind of fascinated by the almost Hulk-like face of the guy in the fourth and sixths panels. Wonder if someone else was gammified in this story.

Also, someone needs to put Rick Jones in a “Hawks 17” jersey some day.

Here’s an unused page—one of an entire unused story or sequence from a very early issue of INCREDIBLE HULK. From what evidence exists, it would likely have been intended for issue #3 or #4. These Jack Kirby pencils were salvaged by Larry Lieber after the story was discarded.

Stan’s handwritten story note at the bottom reads:

CAREFUL—IF YOU INJURE ME I’LL GO TO HOSPITAL—NO BLUE CROSS

And Stan’s one art direction note to the previous panel indicates that the shadow of the bleacher is UNDER it, because it’s being raised by the Hulk.

“Amazing Adult Fantasy,” huh? Wonder if Marvel still owns the trademark to that one…

House ad for FANTASTIC FOUR that ran, among other places, in INCREDIBLE HULK #1. It was half of a page, the other half of which promoted AMAZING ADULT FANTASY, which was launched as a sister title to FF.

Wow. That’s just amazing. Thanks for sharing this stuff, Tom! We would literally never, ever see this otherwise.

From the original artwork to the first Spider-Man story from AMAZING FANTASY #15, now held by the Smithsonian Museum. Here, the splash page logo stat is lifted to reveal the original title lettering underneath. Additionally, you can see where a web-pattern has been whited out around the logo and the tiny Spider-Man figure. Artwork by Steve Ditko.

Looking in the mirror this morning: 

Headcold + Aleve + Breathe Right strip = Supersexy
