A letter to Magic Words' Jim McLauchlin

Dear Mr. Wizard Guy, I'm wondering if you can answer a couple questions about Joe Madureira for me:

1) How many more Uncanny X-men issues is he planning on doing? I hope he does them forever!

2)How is it possible to get in contact with him in order to get his autograph?

3)How tall is he?

4)What kind of music does he like?

5) How do you pronounce his name?

6)Does he eat Rice Krispies Treats?

7) How can I be more like him? Pat Dougherty Earlville, MD

I can't give you the answers, so I figured I'd go straight to Joe Madureira himself. Joe says:

1) "Thanks. I see myself doing Uncanny until I feel can't do anything more with the characters. But definately for the near future, I'm on the book."

2)"Write to me care of Marvel and enclose a self addressed envelope. Assuming i get it, and it usually takes awhile, I'll definately sign a comic for you and send it back." That Marvel address is: 387 Park Ave. S., New York,NY 10016.

3) "I'm about 5'11".

4)"Everything. Iisten to punk and hardcore. I'll listen to classical. It all depends what kind of mood I'm in."

5)"It's pronounced 'mad-a-rare-uh.' Say it loud, say it proud.

6)"No way. Cocoa pebbles! It's the only way to go. I've been consuming mass quantities of them lately. I hadn't eaten them since I was a kid, but I've just rediscovered them."

7)"Listen to all kinds of music and avoid Rice Krispies Treat. And draw the X-men I guess."
