I'm a comics fan. I happen to also work in comics.

I currently work as a senior editor at IDW Publishing. I'm currently editing the G.I. JOE line and te STAR TREK line of comics.

I also own and run COMICS EXPERIENCE, a school that teaches writers and artists how to effectively tell stories, how to work within the industry, and much more. Courses are currently going in New York City and are soon to expand out west to California. Please check out the website at www.comicsexperience.com and see if we can help you.

I've also been writing, myself. I have wrapped up CHALLENGER DEEP at Boom! Studios and written X-MEN: DIVIDED WE STAND and others at Marvel. I've got plenty more comics work coming up, but I've got a new book, "THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO CREATING COMICS AND GRAPHIC NOVELS" coming out in January of 2009. You can find it on Amazon.com by looking up the title or my name. If you're interested in getting into comics or how the industry works, this book is for you.

I used to work at Marvel Comics as an editor. I edited X-MEN, X-FACTOR, ANNIHILATION, DEFENDERS, and many more. I also worked under Executive Editor Tom Brevoort on such titles as NEW AVENGERS, FANTASTIC FOUR, SPIDER-MAN, YOUNG AVENGERS, CAPTAIN AMERICA, HULK, IRON MAN, THOR, CIVIL WAR and many more.

I'm always happy to talk with fans and profesionals alike. And I'm often looking for new talent. I'm committed to helping the next generation of comics creators and fans get their feet in the door and raising the level of quality in American comics.

I hope to meet you soon.

Andy

Thanks for taking the time to add me, Andy (god that sounds really kind of...generic, doesn't it?)

Congrats on your recent family and career moves!

I seem to recall you saying in an interview that you'd be taking some classes at MOCCA - any idea on dates yet?

Hey, Rich. No problem.
I'm teaching two classes at MoCCA. They both start the week after next.

BREAKING INTO COMICS FOR WRITERS begins Tuesday, July10th.
BREAKING INTO COMICS FOR ARTISTS begins Wednesday, July 11th.

They're both 6 three-hour classes long.

If you're interested in taking one or both, I can hook you up with the good folks at MoCCA.

Thanks for the post!

Andy

Congrats on the changes in your life, both personally and professionally. I want to thank you for everything you have done for me during your tenure at Marvel. I wouldn't have had half of the opportunities I've received if not for your encouragement and support.

Good luck in your freelance work, and good luck with the baby! If you're in San Diego this year, we should catch up. Best wishes, and congratulations again.

[ Posted by Henry_Covert on Jun 11th, 2007 2:39 AM ]...

Thanx for the add, Andy! Your advice in Peter David's book on breaking into comics was very helpful. Oh, and ANNHILATION is incredible!
take care,
Henry Covert

I'm working on Ghosts of Floodtown still, as well as a graphic novel. Just building my published work background. I've also got some video game work. Pretty much whatever pays the bills in the freelance world. I'll send you some stuff soon to show you what I've been up to. Glad to hear things are well with you.

RE: New SHOOTIN' THE SCHMIDT article on THE PULSE

Interesting point you made about Kubrick. I never thought of it before, but I think that's why Alan Moore is such a great writer... he's comicdom's equivalent of a Kubrick in that he's produced terrific works in a variety of genres. I would personally put his Saga of the Swamp Thing top of the list if I wanted to introduce a horror fan to comics, especially the first 2 TPBs reprinting # 21-34, those are simply unbeatable.

Thanks for befriending me. Really enjoyed your latest PULSE article.

[ Posted by bohemiafilms on Feb 14th, 2007 12:03 AM ]...

Did Giarrusso draw your icon?

[ Posted by David_Mack on Feb 13th, 2007 7:26 PM ]...

Hey Andy,
Just got your message.
Thanks.
Glad you liked the Kabuki books :)

Which books did you read?
The new Alchemy series from Marvel?
Or some of the earlier volumes?

best,
david
