Yeah, she's definitely the best artist Star Wars comics have had in a while; I can't wait for Episode II adaptation!

Jan's a really nice lady and she's so cool to actually come visit us here at FF. She's also a really talented artist that is as much of a SW fan as the rest of us. you Rock Jan!

The art in the Darth Maul comic was phenominal. Darkness was my favorite Star Wars comic, both because of the art and the story. Can't say enough good things about Jan.

hey jan!
hope to hear from you soon!
i have one question.
with all the additions and deletions of the jedi for epII - most of which seem to be in favor of most humanoid characters who will be easier to script, etc., how come he didn't take a layup and use quinlan vos?
after all, you and i could both argue that it was him at the market in epI on tattoine.

In my opinion, of all the new SW comics to be released lately, Darth Maul and Darkness had the best artwork. It wasn't too cartoony and it had alot of detail, I hope to see more comics with that same kind of artwork, as it is my favorite.

Hi! Thanks for the nice comments on my work! Getting the chance to draw for the Star Wars books has been incredible. I am loving every minute of it!
Darth Maul was an intense project--and Maul is one of my favorite characters so I was extremely happy to be asked to draw the mini. Darkness was also really fun--Quinlan Vos is another favorite of mine--and we got to introduce several new Jedi--Quin's Master,Tholme, Volfe Karkko, T'ra Saa and Zao.
Just completed pencils on AotC recently--(and even having worked on it and knowing far too much about EP II--I STILL can't wait to see the movie! It is so going to rock! The latest Trailer gave me the same feeling I got seeing Star Wars for the first time--it captured that kind of excitement!)
Currently, I'm working on an arc for the SW Ongoing (with John Ostrander and Ray Kryssing) that will start with issue 42 called Rite of Passage. Dave McCaig and I will be doing the covers for this one as well. I'm really excited about this arc--we will finally get to see Quin and Aayla working together.
Who knows, maybe we'll see Quin in Ep III? Maybe he was off on another mission during II? It would be totally cool to see Quin fighting alongside other Jedi--but I will always think that he was in that cantina in EP I. Right now, I'm just really thrilled that Aayla could appear in II!
The other project I'm excited about right now is an 8 page story I wrote and drew for SW Tales 11. Dave McCaig colored it from my pencils. Can't wait to see it printed!
Just wanted to say--thanks again for the positive feedback! Any questions or comments--I'll be checking in from time to time and I'll answer everything as best I can.
Take care! --Jan

jan!
that's so cool that you dropped by!
so, no info as to why quinlan couldn't pop up epII?
that's too bad.
the story with him in the last sw tales was cool.
it proved that he survives at least epII, b/c he sees a teenage han solo!
but that, of course, is considered EU.
it would be cool to see rogue agent jedi being called to duty in epIII once the ranks are depleted!
i guess there is still hope!
if you ever can leak us a tidbit about your little pet jedi quinlan -- please send us a whisper.

Jan, "Ghost" was definately the shining star of SW tales #11. The art was wonderful! I'd never seen or heard of this Quinlan Vos Jedi before, but he looked stunning 
I also thought you captured young Han's expressions beautifully. He really looked like a young Harrison Ford to me

Hi, Darth L--on occasion. I've seen some of the books that Rick Magyar has done. He's a fave of mine.

Again, Leela, thanks! I'm glad you liked "Ghost" and Han and especially Quin (next to Obi-Wan and Mace he is my favorite Jedi.) If you are interested in seeing more of his story, read TWILIGHT, DARKNESS and RITE of PASSAGE (which will be out in May 02.)
It was really fun to try something different with the art--having Dave McCaig paint over my pencils--and I think the result was pretty darn cool. I'm very fortunate to be able to work with super talents like Dave M and Ray Kryssing (the inker on AotC and Darkness.) They ROCK!

Far as EpII and Quin--it would be too cool to see Quin in EPII, but I don't think so. That's ok--he's the kind of character who works behind the scenes anyway...so he's probably up to something during this time.
Yes, it's EU--but EU is fun because all things become possible.

G'day Jan
Tom AKA Villiemace here
I have now got Tales 11 and out of all of the stories in there my favourite was Ghost. It was great seeing Quinlan with han. You get a large sense of Quin's sadness of the jedi being wiped out. He still managed to retain that aura of mystery that he had in his first appearence in Emissaries to Malastare. I aggree with Skawookie about Quinlan appearing more in the empire/rebellion era. It would make for some great stories. Is this your first story that you actually wrote as well as drew. If so excellent first effort and i hope to see more in the future.
One or two questions though:
Where did quin disapear to at the end of the story?
Also is villie still alive after the purge and will he be meeting up with quin again in the future after rites of passage?
As I am writing this i have not been to Tunisia yet, ( I go on sunday) but rest assured I will be taking ghost with me when I do go just so I can read it again in Tunisia, it is THAT good.
Just in case you read the tales 11 thread and see my post and then come here and see exactly the same message in the authors and artist post, the reason i have put the same message here is because I am unsure if the tales 11 thread will be around after two weeks when I come back from holiday. I am looking forward to hearing a reply from you so I have put the message here where I know i will be able to find it more easily than the tales 11 thread.
All the best and have a happy easter
Tom AKA villiemace

You know I was one of the lucky ones who had a store screw up and I must say 
Your work on AOTC is amazing.
I won't go into it to much (don't want to get banned) but if you don't mind me saying you've come along way from Darth Maul (and that was amazing too. )

Jan I've been thinking of a few questions I hope you could answer next time you pop in.
1. Do you know of any plans by Dark Horse to do an Episode II adventure series like they did for Episode I?
2. How is the Star Wars ongoing going to change after AOTC? Any news on this would be hot but I understand that you probably can't say much so specificaly I was wondering about sabers.
Will Secura's be blue now. What about Ploo's or Mundi's? Will we see fewer diffrent colors?
