Conversations with GoD: Author Greg Pak
  |  

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!

Geeks of Doom: First of all, for those who don’t already know who you are”¦ who are you?

Greg Pak: I’m a filmmaker and writer living in New York City who’s probably best known in the film world for Robot Stories and in the comic world for Planet Hulk and World War Hulk.

GoD: What did you want to be when you grew up?

GP: I actually was just going through some old papers and found an essay I wrote when I was ten or eleven about how I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. And through grade school, high school, and college, I wrote dozens of short stories. But somewhere along the line I stopped thinking about writing professionally. Instead, I studied political science as an undergraduate at Yale and then worked for Ann Richards when she was running for Governor of Texas. I was well on my way to becoming a political staffer, or maybe even running for office someday. But then I had the chance to study history at Oxford, where I got myself involved with a student filmmaking group. And then all those storytelling lights came back on. I went to NYU’s graduate film school, and, fifteen years or so later, here I am, doing what I wanted to do when I was ten years old.
