To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Marvel Knights, we welcome Joe Quesada
 to tell the origin story of the imprint and contextualize it within Marvel
history. One lucky break he got early in his career came full circle with
the launch of Marvel Knights. That single opportunity he was given has
continued to inform his creative career (and life) ever since.

Without Marvel Knights, we would not have the version of Black Panther that just hit screens, and were it not for writer Christopher Priest (aka Jim Owsley), we would not have had Marvel Knights in the first place, either.


"The chance that there's an open assignment? Not good, but I'll see."


Interviews with Joe Quesada were recorded live onstage at Fan Expo Canada (Toronto) in the fall of 2016.
