Right now it’s only available in a shorter cut on Vimeo and on DVD thru third-parties via Amazon. You directed the 90-minute Night Music documentary on Russell. I was making shot-on-video Z-grade movies at the time and actually roped both Craig and Jay into acting in my no-budget flick, TOWNIES, which was probably the first time that I actually “worked” with Craig on anything major.Īt some point in the 90s, Craig was attempting to sell some of his original art and not enjoying the minutia of it, so I eventually because his original art agent.

Through Craig, I also met comic artists Jay Geldhof and Jill Thompson, who were also both living in Kent at the time. Of course, I acted a major fanboy the first time I met him! Marc had recently met Craig and invited him to a party. This was pre-comics professional Marc - he was a Kent State Theatre Major and was good friends with a girl I was dating at the time. WAH: Craig had moved to Kent, Ohio at some point and we eventually met through Marc Andreyko. How did the two of you meet and what’s the scope of your duties when it comes to him and his work? Even though I was a squirt, I knew there was something much more sophisticated going on - not only in the his drawing but in the actual storytelling as well. I would have been 10 or 11 years old at the time, I was a big Marvel nerd and loved stuff like “Avengers”, “Fantastic Four”, etc., but I could tell that Craig’s art was was “different” than the standard Marvel house style of the time. Wayne Alan Harold: It was Killraven that I saw first, back when it was originally running in the early- to mid-70s incarnation of “Amazing Adventures”.
