I'm Mark O. Stack, and I write comics about people in fantastic situations processing real emotions.
My first middle grade OGN, Travis Muñoz and the Fire of the Aztecs, comes out 4/28. I am putting together proposals for more MG and YA work!

My "comics as lit" elective got approved for the next school year, so now I get to do the real fun work of putting together a more detailed course outline.

I really appreciated working with Rebecca Taylor on Travis Muñoz and the Fire of the Aztecs. Tay always pushed us to be clear, dig deep, and respect the audience we were making the book for. Probably the most invaluable professional experience I've ever had working in comics as a writer.
I don’t think editors get enough recognition. Who are your favorite comic book editors?

Path of Radiance is top tier Fire Emblem, but, boy, am I missing voiced dialogue and auto-advance.

Their behavior is utterly inhumane.
In Morristown, New Jersey, ICE abandoned a six-year-old girl on the side of a busy road after abducting and disappearing her father on January 18, 2026.

Jackie took me to Barnes & Noble for a birthday shopping spree (I did the same with her at Joann's before it shut down), and every time she checked in on me she laughed about the stack getting taller and me hiding the spines so no one would try to talk to me about my selections.
The employees kept offering me baskets, but I told them I wanted to feel the weight of this purchase.

Dr. King in March, 1965 at Jimmie Lee Jackson’s funeral— a 26 year old Army veteran hunted & murdered by police during a nonviolent protest in Marion, AL, whose killing directly inspired the Selma-to-Montgomery march four days later.

The moon landing hits so hard in Mad Men after seasons of people only gathered around the TV to watch assassination and war before one bright, wholly optimistic moment. Absolutely fantastic.

It would mean a lot to me if you could help Kody out with this today:
There are so many causes out there you could put your money towards, but if you would care to put some towards the cost of Einstein's euthanasia ($867), my family of now just two would be so appreciative.

one day I'll describe a comic like "Stan Lee's Spider-Man" on here instead of "Steve Ditko & Stan Lee's Spider-Man." that is your cue to find me and kill the dunder-headed doppleganger who has somehow outwitted and replaced me. cut my head off. bury me in four graves at the corners of the Earth.
