Just out of Kubert School in 1978, and still learning the basics of the airbrush, I put together a portfolio of Sci/Fi and fantasy illustrations to show art directors and editors. This was my first sale to Marvel Comics, appearing as the inside front cover to their B&W magazine MARVEL PREVIEW in 1979. The editor, Rick Marschall, suggested adapting the style into comics which led to my many stories for EPIC Illustrated.
