So would you see your creation to Disney if you knew they were going to make them villain of another story?
No!
Is there a character you think that is plain old stupid and doesn’t deserve the praise they get?
Never thought about it. Hmmm… let me think… Teletubbies
What Comic book movie pissed you off because it was so off the mark and was so awful it could damage the characters it was about?
Ya, that last Fantastic Four was bad. I can tell you the best thing about it was it allowed me to catch up on some well needed Z’s.
Do you build in bad habits to your hero’s to make them more human and less super?
I try to ground my characters so readers can relate in one way or another. BUT, I like to make them BIG. Super Heroes aren’t your everyday average Joe.
If you were allowed to borrow and character to interact with yours for a two issue arch who would it be and why?
For Big Willy, I’d love the Hulk so I can write a story with Big Willy and Hulk raging it out. For S’n’D, it would be hilarious to see them duke it out against all of Batman’s rogues gallery.
What cartoon series would you bring back if made a network executive?
Powerpuff Girls.
That came back recently.
Then I obviously work too much… I remember as a kid always eager to see He-Man, so hopefully that comes back!
Gary Mac handled that interview under pressure and with such powerful will power that The 7 Deadly Questions simply could not match. Gary you are granted access to the ultimate prize we can offer: A paragraph of shameless self-Promotion.
