Greg Pak makes for an interesting panelist. He's so expressive, you might think he's Italian. But he grew up in America, where he was bullied for his partial Korean heritage. He trained to become a filmmaker, but made his name in comics instead.
Ironically, his Planet Hulk saga served as the basis for two films: an animated feature, and Thor Ragnarok.
At Wondercon 2019, he was most excited about writing The Totally Awesome Hulk, which featured Korean American Amadeus Cho, as well as transplanting Marvel's Chinese superheroes into the American market. Naturally, he was also excited about writing for Marvel's Star Wars series.
Editor Warren Simons enticed Greg to Valiant with the prospect of writing Eternal Warrior. Greg said he enjoyed working with Gilad Anni-Padda, and would welcome writing another series for Valiant, if the right opportunity came along.
Perhaps the editors might entice him by encouraging him draw the series as well as write it. He started drawing superheroes at an early age, after all, and kindly shared an early masterpiece with us.
Greg Pak: filmmaker, writer, and artist. No wonder he's made it big in the comics world!
