It just came to my attention that I know absolutley nothing about Moonstone Editor-in-Chief, Mr Joe Gentile! So yeah I've just got a few questions and if anyone could answer them, that would be really cool.
How long has he been in the comic book industry?
His favourite comic book series?
What was the first comic book he wrote?
His goals for Moonstone
Also, is he the founding father of Moonstone?
Thanks!
In fact you know what? Any info on this guy would ve much appreciated! Sorry for the double post!
Well Brucey, I have done two interviews with Joe on the Moonstone website, that you may want to check out. And he has been interviewed in MANY MANY places! We have some of those interviews linked on this message board, and he has his column on Newsarama that we also link here on the message board. But maybe you are just missing some of the basics? I will try to convince Joe to take a few min. to come on the message board to reply to you personally. He is super busy being editor-in-chief and all that, but let me see if he has some time this weekend. Sound good? If he has no time, I will get some more info from him for you. I could answer some of your questions, but I think it's a better idea to get the info right from Joe himself! Thanks for the interest, I will pass it on!

Yeah I've read those interviews you did with him and they were cool, I've also read a lot of other interviews around the internet but they don't really get into who Joe Gentile is, you know what I mean? Yeah I'm missing the basics, pretty much! Yeah if Joe could answer them persoanlly, that would be SUPER cool!:grin:
Brucey,
Joe has replied to your questions, and asked me to post them for him, so I will post them here for you to check out. He's a little pressed for time right now, but soon, I will interview him and Dave about how Moonstone came about, etc. If you have any other questions, he will be more than happy to answer them. I've posted your original questions, along with his replies.

How long has he been in the comic book industry?
(Oh, for a very long long time that keeps getting longer…as far as being a freelance writer and publisher, that would be about 15-20 years.)
His favourite comic book series?
(How can any comics fan answer that? Hmmm…Besides Moonstone books, I would have to say comics like “Daredevil”, “Hitman”, Starman”, “Top Ten”, “Human Target” etc)
What was the first comic book he wrote?
(The first two issues of “Fright Night” for Now Comics, which adapted the movie…)
His goals for Moonstone
(To continue to put out books with great stories first of all, and to help bring more folks into comic shops!)
Also, is he the founding father of Moonstone?
(I am one of the Three Wise Men who founded this little country that could, - the other two are my brothers Dave Ulanksi and Rafael Nieves.)
Moonstonegal, you're the best!
Please give my thanks to Joe for his answers!
