KRAVEN LIVES!

I am constantly amazed that, after more than thirty years, people continue to read, discuss, and dissect my 1987 Spider-Man story, Kraven's Last Hunt.  Believe me:  When we were creating that tale, none of us had the faintest idea that anyone would remember it—let alone consider it a classic—three decades later.  Why some stories echo down through the years and others evaporate a month after publication remains a mystery I've yet to fathom, but I am profoundly grateful for the long life KLH has had. 

What prompted these thoughts?  First:  This article by Archie Comics co-publisher (and gifted novelist) Alex Segura.  Then, just this morning, I happened across this video (embedded below) from Matt Draper—first posted back in July—which takes a very deep dive into the story.  Thanks to Alex and Matt both for their insights and enthusiasm.

And thanks to Mike Zeck, Bob McLeod and the entire KLH creative team for being part of something that's turned out to be bigger than all of us.

MACHO MAN

I had a lengthy and deep conversation about the creative life with David Macho for his Dialogos de Comic video podcast.  Always a pleasure connecting with the international comics audience.  Enjoy!

 

THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

Here's an interview I did with the fine folks at Radio of Horror.  We covered a lot of ground, from all across my career.  Hope you enjoy it.

CIAO ITALIA!

Here's a fun conversation I had with Italy's Comics Reporter.  Always a treat to reconnect with the Italian fans, who greeted us so warmly when we visited two years ago.  Enjoy!

LENNON DAY

Today would have been John Lennon's 80th birthday. Forty years here, forty years gone. Astonishing—and still so very sad.

Anyone who's followed this blog (and my career) knows that Lennon remains my one true rock and roll hero. (For further proof, just read this.) His music is more alive, more vibrant, more urgent and necessary today than ever before.

Happy birthday, John.  Shine on.

GEEKY

I had a great conversation with James Enstall of Geek To Me Radio—covering everything from my first TV sale to Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons and my Imagination 101 writing workshop—and you can listen to it right here.
