Comment

Mark SCHULTZ est loin d’être un suiveur de WOOD et de FRAZETTA sans le talent comme le disait un dessin crtique volontairement de mauvaise foi de Sylvain DELZANT (il a toujours eu mauvais esprit) dans ce n°38 de SCARCE le prozine qui parlait de comicbooks avant la mode.
Cette couverture m'a été donnée par Tania apres la disparition de Nikola ATCHINE qui avait été interviewer Mark SCHULTZ et avait conçu avec lui cet inédit comme couverture; la couleur a été faite par Hervé GRAIZON je crois.
Le trait de SCHULTZ est fin et parfait, Merci Tania, RIP Nikola (on pense souvent à toi)
Souvenir d'une époque d'aventures un peu folles et de passion comics.

About Mark Schultz

Mark Schultz (born June 7, 1955) is an American writer and illustrator of books and comics. His most widely-recognized work is his self-created and owned comic book series, Xenozoic Tales, about a post-apocalyptic world where dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures coexist with humans. He is also the current writer of the Prince Valiant comic strip. First comics work. In the early 1980s, Schultz became interested in the burgeoning underground comics scene, which allowed independent artists to publish stories outside the traditional assembly-line approach of the mainstream comics industry. He also became attracted to the art of the classic stories published by EC Comics in the 1950s. At one point, he took the few boxes of 1960s and early 1970s Marvel and DC comic books he owned to a local comic book store and traded them for a large collection of EC Comics. From then on, he began to hone his illustration style to emulate that of classic EC artists.
