The mid-'80s was the age of independent comics. It was also the age of the
dinosaur, thanks to Mark Schultz and Xenozoic Tales! Evocative of the
master 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 has
also written various Superman, Aliens, and Predator comics,
as well as a novel featuring DC's Flash, and is currently writing the
Prince Valiant newspaper strip. But his drawing alone — including
his exquisite Conan book illustrations — makes him a true Modern
Master!
