Anyone know who the oldest working comic pro currently is?


Probably Will Eisner? He's gotta be in his eighties and still drawing.

Stan Lee's still going strong. How old is Joe Kubert and John Severin as they're still about as well.

Or somebody just keeps spreading scurrilous rumours about you.

Did you get that email from me about pics for a Starman article we wanted to do here?

Not that I remember, but that dont mean shit. What can I do for you?

OLD T

I'm Frey's mate aka Keravin over on your boards.

It was about using some of the more obscure, non published, Starman pics to accompany a retrospective article on the whole series.

He's 91 this year, I think. And he's coming to Toronto this year, which is very cool.

Hi all.
I wanted to stop by and say hello to Mark.
Since this is my first post here, I may as well introduce myself.

I'm 31. And I started doing Kabuki when I turned 20 and worked on it throughout college. I published the first volume KABUKI: Circle of Blood when I was 21 and turned it in for my senior writing thesis.

So the new Kabuki series at Icon this year markes ten years of Kabuki for me so far.
I did a few other things pre- Kabuki that I won't mention:)
Much of them involve early work with Brian Bendis.

I started working professionally in comics at age 18 while I also did a lot of other things outside of comics.


Some of you here I know and have met. I see Cully at a lot of conventions and I spent a couple weeks with Mark Millar and Frank Quitley in Australia and New Zealand.
I've seen Ethan Van Sciver here, who I've met.
I've spoken with Warren Ellis a couple times on his message board when he said some very kind things about my work.
To those that I have not had the pleasure to great before, I say hello right now smile.gif

I've seen Mark on the Bendis Board a few times, and I decided I should pop in here from time to time to say hello.
Kindest regards,
David Mack

Hello and welcome to Millarworld David.

You did that first trade of Kabuki at 20? Bloody hell. It's quite a mature piece of work compared to the work put out by other comicbook people twice your age.

Looking forward to the new Kabuki series.


(so basically the same as Ken's post dry.gif )

Hi all,
Thanks for the warm welcome!

I appreciate it smile.gif

And yeah, I'll see you in Charlotte, Cully.

And I'll be at the Toronto show in August this year as well.
Anyone going the any of these cons, please stop by and introduce yourself.
Best,
David

Mack is the man.

I was ashamed I'd never read Kabuki when we met and he gave Vince and I lots of free copies for the (22 hour) plane trip home. Officially converted and now eat up his stuff. It's fantastic.

Why do Scotsmen only read comics we get for free?

You get 'em free?!?!?

I've been spending the last two years keeping the Forbidden Planet staff in Glasgow and Edinburgh in ever more elaborate piercings!

Bah. Time for a career move.

...by far THE most "star studded" thread I've ever seen on the internet!

So I guess my being 31 and wanting to make a spash in the writing gig would make me and old never was rather than a youthful could have been? msn-wink.gif

I'll stick to journalism I guess...sighs

I see that we're not mentioning any of our industry's ladies ages....see we ARE gentlemen around here.

Same here Mark. David gave me a bunch of freebees at Wizard World Philly and I am hooked.

Oh, and I'm 25.

Started working in a comic store at 15 (tarring the roof for free comics) and started writing comics when I was 21.

Made my break in comics at 24 when THE GIFT #1 hit stands last August.

Nice place you got here, Mark. Now don't forget my free drink in the Kingdom of the Blind. cool.gif

Believe me, after some of the photos of pros I've seen floating about, you don't want to be asking to see pictures.

This is an actual story I'm cooking up...and with the likes of CASSADAY, MACK, GEOFF JOHNS, OEMING, and some other comic hotties, I should be able to compile quite a nice list...
