§ An interview with MIGHTY Q&A: The Many Worlds of Ron Marz at 13th Dimension:
You have a fairly eclectic career: From the cosmic Green Lantern to the pulp work you’re doing now. What do you consider the highlight of your career to date?
I think most creators end up loving their creator-owned work best. So for me, that includes things like “Shinku” from Image, “Dragon Prince” from Top Cow and “Samurai: Heaven and Earth” from Dark Horse. I’ve really enjoyed the vast majority of everything I’ve worked on, from “Silver Surfer” to “Green Lantern” to “Star Wars.” But the things I’ve created from the ground up are the ones I hold most dear.
§ Michael Cavna has a long round-up of graphic novels that can be used for education and why they should be taken seriously.
