CAAMFest San Jose brings award-winning Korean American filmmaker and comic book writer Greg Pak into the spotlight! Get to know the man behind the Planet Hulk and World War Hulk storylines in this rare on-stage conversation moderated by acclaimed writer and cartoonist Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese).
Pak’s work spans from award-winning feature film Robot Stories, to comic books and graphic novels written for Marvel, Valhalla, Aspen, Dynamite, Valiant and DC Comics. You might recognize his work from Marvel’s Incredible Hulk, fan favorite Incredible Hercules (co-written with Fred Van Lente) and Dynamite’s Battlestar Galictica.
Pumping out three new projects, it’s been a busy year for Pak, to say the least. Join us at CAAMFest San Jose as we journey through Pak’s remarkable career, hear the behind-the-scenes stories on his creative achievements, and peek at his newest comic, Kingsway West. Tickets & info here.
In the meantime, here’s a taste of his newest projects: children’s books THE PRINCESS WHO SAVED HERSELF, based on a Jonathan Coulton song, and the upcoming ABC DISGUSTING, along with the western/fantasy comic, Kingsway West.
The Princess Who Saved Herself reinvents the princess myth for a new generation of proactive girls, telling the story of an awesome kid who lives with her pet snake and plays rock ‘n’ roll all day to the huge annoyance of the classical guitarist witch who lives down the road. Hijinks, conflicts, and a fun reconciliation ensue, all showcasing determination, bravery, and understanding.
ABC Disgusting tells the story of a boy trying to shock his older sister with an alphabetical series of disgusting things. But in the end, she hits him with what might be the biggest gross-out of all.
Kingsway West is a new Dark Horse comic book series written by Greg Pak with art by Mirko Colak about a Chinese gunslinger searching for his wife in an Old West overrun by magic.
