tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45414285829700727542011-08-01T17:49:32.708-07:00For the last few years I've freelanced for Marvel Comics, beginning with writing their official press releases and now providing content for their website, Marvel.com. They're a great company to work for and I get to interview cool creators and write about some of my most favorite comic characters. Here at this site I'll link you up to some of the Marvel articles I'm most proud of. Enjoy - and Excelsior!Jim Beardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02402557545413785472noreply@blogger.comBlogger151100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541428582970072754.post-6580102231333086872010-06-16T11:16:00.000-07:002010-06-16T11:18:22.648-07:00There are perhaps few greater Avengers stories than Roger Stern's classic <a href="http://marvel.com/news/comicstories.11879.avengers_classics~colon~_under_siege">"Under Siege"</a> saga.
