How did you get the job as writer of
Punisher 2099 and what do you recall about working on the
series?
Pat:
Marvel pitched the idea to a number of writers and Tony
Skinner and myself came up with the scenario they liked
best. I have very positive memories of working on the
series. I think they liked our stories because we created
convincing high-tech futuristic weapons for our character.
What recollections do you have about
working with the artists on Punisher: Tom Morgan and Simon
Coleby?
Pat: Excellent artists.
What recollections do you have about
working with Editor Joey Cavalieri?
Pat:
Joey was great.
How did you get the job of taking over
Ravage 2099 and what do you recall about working on the series?
Pat:
Stan Lee asked us if we would take over the series from him.
I wasn't keen but my partner Tony Skinner was and he took
the lead on writing it.
What recollections do you have about
working with the artists on Ravage : Grant Miehm, Joe Bennett?
Pat:
I wasn't keen on the Ravage artwork. It felt old-fashioned
to me. This was one reason I wasn't keen on the character,
but Tony did a truly excellent job of writing it. I'm still
impressed by his fortitude.
Why did you leave the 2099 books?
Pat: Sales on 2099
eventually dropped so they may have wanted to change the
writers to boost sales. This rarely works, but I guess was
worth a try.
Any favorite character, cover, or story
from your time on 2099
Pat: Public Enemy. He felt the
public were to blame for all that was wrong in the world. I
think that character had great potential.
