PAOLO RIVERA Explores the Mythos

There are myths and there are legends…and then, there is Paolo Rivera! Okay, that may be a bit too Stan Lee for anybody's taste, but apropos for a guy retelling Stan's origins. For the last two years, Paolo's been putting it down as the artist on Marvel's Mythos series with Atlanta based writer Paul Jenkins. All the books in the series are gorgeous and fully painted and so far we've seen X-men, Hulk, Ghost Rider and Spiderman. The latest installment with The Fantastic Four just hit the streets a couple of weeks ago. Rivera is an exciting young artist who resides in Brooklyn, NY and is a graduate of the prestigious RISD (Rhode Island School of Design). We recently ran him down and had a chat about being a contract artist for Marvel, meeting Alex Ross as a kid, the ramp up to Mythos Captain America and hitting the convention and lecture circuits.
