Hulk smash...and is a smash too: Carlo Pagulayan illustrated Greg Pak's work in the Marvel Comics mainstay title.
My old pal Greg Pak, with whom I attended junior high at
Alex W. Spence Middle School on Capital Avenue, has turned into quite the big-deal comic-book scribe. Pak, who wrote, directed and starred in film-fest fave
Robot Stories a couple of years back, has been working exclusively for Marvel Comics--first on the resurrected
Warlock title, then on a high-profile
X-Men mini-series and a sequel to
Neil Gaiman's beloved
1602 reworking of Spider-Man, Daredevil and other Marvel icons. But his current 14-issue run on
Incredible Hulk is garnering Pak much attention and many well-deserved
raves. To which I say, as always, mazel tov.
