Long Story Short ★ MARK SCHULTZ
POWERFUL as a T-REX and Just as CREATIVELY UNCOMPROMISING!
It’s been a great pleasure in having interviewed fellow Pennsylvanian writer, comic creator, and illustrator, MARK SCHULTZ on our BEYOND THE PROCESS podcast. As a follow-up to the highly anticipated video interview, I took some time to add to the conversation about his work on Xenozoic Tales, working in comics, and as a writer of such things as Prince Valiant and Storms at Sea.
BTP: In our interview with you, Mark, you mentioned “students”, but I never got around to asking you if you were teaching or not? In what capacity and where have you been instructing?
SCHULTZ: I have led seminars and programs at a number of schools, mostly here in Pennsylvania, but my longest relationship has been with the Savannah College of Art and Design’s Sequential Art Department. I’ve been appearing there as a visiting artist since 1994 and have taught on faculty a couple of times. I haven’t done much teaching in recent years, but I enjoy my opportunities to work with up-and-comers.
BTP: What changes did you notice in the students from when you started teaching in the 90s to when you finished at SCAD? What specifically did you teach about comics?
