rdf:langString I was about 10 or 11 when I discovered Warren and that international cast of artists expanded my interest in art beyond the bandwidth of mainstream superheroes. Esteban Maroto, Jose Gonzalez, Jordi Bernet, Gonzalo Mayo, Frazetta, Vaughn Bodé, Sanjulián, and Enrich Torres were like a huge crew of brilliant art teachers showing me what was possible. Vampirella functioned as a landmark that provoked the modern era of creators to expand their ambitions. This is what inspired, has sustained and continues to instruct me to this day.

rdf:langString FTR-- the character Ace was pretty much a self-portrait of Mark, only toned down a little. Yes, I said toned down. It kind of answered the question : "What If Michael Jackson Looked Masculine?" He looked like Mark. He *was* Mark. Mark looks like a masculine Michael Jackson. An MJ that could kick your ass. He's tall and lean with a piercing gaze and funky hair. He *is* Ace.

rdf:langString ...Mark would doddle around with and decide if he would finish it or not. If he didn't Neal would give him some money and finish it himself. Or Mark would disappear and return a week later with a painting. He was one of those people that everyone wanted to lock down and force them to do consistent work in a marketable style... but that just wasn't Mark. You took what he gave you and liked it.

rdf:langString Mark Beachum, notorious gangsta deadline breaker, had a standing deal with me: I NEVER gave him anything on a schedule because I knew it'd bring us into conflict. But I guaranteed he'd always have work. When he turned in Job A, I'd hand him another script. When he turned that one in, I'd hand him another. This way, Mark worked at his own pace, instead of getting kicked by me for being late. Of course he'd be late! He's Mark Beachum!! But, damn, that man can draw!!
