🔸 This extended conversation with illustrator and writer MARK SCHULTZ explores his life and career journey—from his early days in Pennsylvania and first artistic influences to the creation of his acclaimed series XENOZOIC TALES which he continues to develop today. He also discusses his long-standing admiration for pulp author Robert E. Howard, best known for creating Conan, as well as the rewarding experience of illustrating one of Wandering Star’s definitive editions of Howard’s original Conan stories. Schultz offers thoughtful insights into his approach to storytelling, design, and the ideas that continue to drive his creative world.
