On February 29, 2000, comic book artist Marc Silvestri, creator of
WITCHBLADE, CYBER FORCE and DARKNESS, will be teaching fans and aspiring
artists how it's done through the first semester of on-line classes offered
at Eruptor.com. Silvestri will present a live, three-part series on
Eruptor's Web-based university, Eruptor College, to help students learn how
to produce layouts, refine characters and develop stories for comic books
of their own. The real-time class will allow Silvestri to answer questions
from viewers. Silvestri began his artistic career as a penciler on Marvel's
"Uncanny X-Men" and "Wolverine." In 1992, Silvestri founded Top Cow
Productions, Inc. which was one of the four studios that comprised Image
Comics.
