Web Comics: Do you have a favorite Artist to work with?

Marv Wolfman: I have many favorites – and they all do very different kinds of work. I absolutely loved working with both George Perez and Gene Colan on a number of projects but I also like them personally. There are many, many others, too.

Web Comics: Do you socialize with anyone within the comic book industry?

Marv Wolfman: All the time, but again, this is personal stuff an I don’t talk about that.

Web Comics: Do you still keep up with the industry?

Marv Wolfman: Of course. Regularly.

Web Comics: During your time with Marvel in the 1970’s, were you a part of the “Mighty Marvel Bullpen,” and what are your memories of that time?

Marv Wolfman: I was editor in chief and also in charge of the black and white magazines. There are too many memories to go into now in this short of time.

Web Comics: In a similar question, is there an artist that you never got to work with that you felt would bring another dimension to you writing?

Marv Wolfman: There are hundreds of brand new artists I’d love to work with. So many today are brilliant.

Web Comics: In all of your writings, the locations and dialogue are highly detailed; what do you use as reference? Vacations, recordings . . . ?

Marv Wolfman: I use a variety of sources, from trips there to books, photos, research, etc. Whatever is necessary.

Web Comics: I interviewed Herb Trimpe in the later part of 2003; we talked a bit about his termination package from Marvel, and what he referred to as “ageism” in the industry. Have you experienced this, if so what’s your take on it?

Marv Wolfman: It’s hard to get a lot of editors to want to work with people old enough to be their grandfather. Some have no problems, others do. But then when you’re young and inexperienced, the older editors may have problems with that, too. It evens out in the wash.

Marv Wolfman: Too many to mention.

Web Comics: In the 80's and 90's when DC seemed to be making the bulk of their money off of Teen Titans & Teen Titan spin-off’s. Did you come out of this time in good shape financially?

Marv Wolfman: I also don’t talk about financial affairs.

Web Comics: Is there a character that you never got to write that you wish that you had. If so who, and what would you bring to this character?

Marv Wolfman: Deadman and Adam Strange. I have ideas but I never reveal them in case I still get that opportunity.
