Mark Schultz

Across two centuries, illustrator/cartoonist/author Mark Schultz has explored a career measured in Deep Time. His glacial working procedures have slowly but surely produced illustrations for Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories and many comics book covers, as well as scripts for The Stuff of Life, a guide to Genetics and DNA, the Prince Valiant comic strip, and various Superman comics. Most recently, he completed Storms at Sea, an illustrated novella whose rate of execution had all the majesty of continental drift.

Perhaps most significantly, Mark created the speculative comics series Xenozoic Tales, which spawned the animated television series Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, and to which he has now returned after a dormant period eclipsing that of the cicada. If all goes well with the stand-alone Xenozoic graphic novel he is currently molding, he plans to complete the storyline left unfinished in the original series. Readers can expect to see all this by the time the stars have properly aligned, and before the Earth falls into the sun.

In the meantime, Flesk Publishing keeps Mark’s existing Xenozoic stories in print, as well as collecting his drawings, painting and commissions in Portfolio and the Carbon series of books.
