Very good interview.

MB: Issue #20 is the first of many stories I plan to tell about the 13th Phantom. He was described as “The greatest swordsman of his time” and in a day and age when there were great swordsmen aplenty, that’s really saying something. Issue 20 will see him battling a band of ex-Musketeers seeking to regain their favor with the King of France, at the Phantom’s expense. After that, I plan to do a story featuring him about once a year or more, as a sort of one-shot between story arcs.
Was issue 20 the one I was supposed to appear in? I would make a fine musketeer. 
Out of curiosity, why do you intend to tell several stories about the 13th Phantom? Is he some kind of a personal favorite? Not sure if you have read it, but the Peter David-written DC miniseries from 1988 was an excellently crafted parallel running story about the 13th and 21st Phantoms.
I'd also loved to see more tales about the 1st Phantom. He's the guy who started it all, and I consider him to be the most interesting of them all. You need some serious demons to convince all your future descendants to die an early death fighting for an impossible goal, and I'd liked to see that explored even more than Ben Raab did in the (excellent) Legacy.
And, forgive my ignorance, what exactly is a wrap around cover?

You're in there. Although, not as a Musketeer.

I'm very draw to that time period and really love swordplay. Add to that the fact that little has been done with the 13th and it creates a compulsion on my part to chronicle his exploits.

A wrap around is a cover that has art going from front to back, so that if you open the book up and lay it face down, you get a double sized piece of artwork. Here's an example:

As always, you're damn good at tickling my curiosity. Can't wait to see who I might end up as.

Cool. I know there's some confusion on whether the 13th was the one known as "The Runt" or not... Falk messed up a bit there, as far as I can recall at the moment.

Very nice. Although I wouldn't need any wrap around covers to welcome the always excellent Doug Klauba back.
