When you get the chance to interview a comic book writer, you jump at the chance. But some chances are more special than others, and having the chance to speak to Greg Pak recently was a real treat. Fan favorite author of Marvel’s Planet Hulk, the feature film Robot Stories, and currently writing Skaar: Son of Hulk, Greg Pak is a man who really needs no further introduction. I got the chance to speak with the author recently about his past and what is coming up for him, so without further ado, let’s introduce Greg Pak!

Into every generation a Slayer is born, as well as a top class author. For my father’s generation, that author was J.R.R. Tolkien; for my generation, that author is James Barclay. An author of consummate skill, I first read his books nearly two years ago now, and instantly fell in love (with the writing…). Soon after James and I started emailing each other, me professing my undying love for his writing, him gratefully accepting it saying that there was “nothing like buffing the ego up to a dazzling sparkle.”

James Barclay is one of three authors I consider 10 out of 10 (the other two being Terry Pratchett and Robin Hobb). His realistic storytelling - which, as we discuss, includes a distressing penchant for never letting a character live for too long - is what makes him brilliant.

So come and join me in my interview with James Barclay, and find out about the man behind the books!
