The mid-'80s was the age of independent comics. It was also the age of thedinosaur, thanks to Mark Schultz and Xenozoic Tales! Evocative of themaster illustrators of the early 1900s, but with a decidedly modern flair,Schultz's artwork stood out like a beacon from the fare of the day. Schultz hasalso written various Superman, Aliens, and Predator comics,as well as a novel featuring DC's Flash, and is currently writing thePrince Valiant newspaper strip. But his drawing alone — includinghis exquisite Conan book illustrations — makes him a true ModernMaster!
