Career
| “ | "I composed three improvised scripts, a cover letter, and mailed it off to the [Archie Comics] home office in Mamaroneck. Simple as that. I also kept at it for four years, revising and improving the sample material I sent in annually. Eventually, editor Mike Pellerito was impressed enough to give me a chance. A few small behind-the-scenes projects turned into the lead writing position in about a year." | „ |
