		John Ostrander: I had been an actor/playwright in the Chicago area when a good friend, Mike Gold, was helping start-up FIRST COMICS.

		Ostrander: The JLA will certainly be a PART of the Martian Manhunter book (how can they not be?) but, by the same token, we'll be exploring his life (or lives) away from the JLA as well.

		JOHN OSTRANDER: My mother believed Dr. Wertham and I wasn't allowed to read superheroes (which I did, on the sly) but Classics Illustrated, Disney comics, that sort of thing was okay.
		JOHN OSTRANDER: That's a difficult choice; there are several pieces I'm very proud of and almost every run I've done on a book has issues I'm very proud of.
		JOHN OSTRANDER: The characters really haven't been seen much in the past few years which makes them sort of new and, at the same time, have a track record.

	The Spectre. John Ostrander. \| The Stop Button \| Andrew Wickliffe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		For the first half, Ostrander spends his time orientating the reader to the Spectre character, which is actually impossible, since the character goes on adventures through Heaven and Hell.
		Ostrander doesn’t spend much time on that aspect, instead concentrating on the human element, who’s basically a fascist cop.
		Ostrander’s dialogue is occasionally clunky--though I think it’s intentional for the Spectre, but Ostrander never clarifies that point--and his plot points are overtly topical.

		OSTRANDER: I think itâs that although he was one of the first grim and gritty heroes, at the same time he wasnât just a big ugly guy with a gun and a streak of violence.
		OSTRANDER: The first major storyline that we did which actually was in the backup features was âBuried Past.â That set up so many things in terms of Grimjackâs whole back-story that kept on resonating throughout the entire series as we went.
		OSTRANDER: As much as I would like to do a Grimjack ongoing, part of the problem there is Tim Truman has a lot of other things that he wants to do as well.

	John Ostrander interview from QRD#28
		John Ostrander wrote the hit 80's comic GrimJack for First Comics who were probably one of the five biggest comic companies at the time.
		John - Yeah, I was raised RC and even thought of becoming a priest, to the point of going to the seminary for a year until I decided my "vocation" was just an overdose of "Going My Way" (the TV series, not the movie).
		John - In the past several years there have been several good movies made from comics, including both X-MEN movies, HELLBOY, AMERICAN SPLENDOUR and SPIDER-MAN. All keep pretty true to their roots although, for me, the best superhero movie in recent years was SPIDER-MAN 2.

	The religion of John Ostrander, comic book writer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Ostrander came very close to becoming a priest of the Episcopal Church, and the fact that he had devoted a great deal of thought to the nature of God, the nature of sin and redemption, and man's place in the cosmos kept Spectre from becoming trite and heavy handed.
		Every arc dealt brilliantly with the nature of the Spectre himself, half human soul, railing against the seeming injustice of God, and half Angel of Death, barred from heaven.
		Ostrander put the lie to that idea, though.

	Beek's Books - The Spectre (comicbook reviews)
		Ostrander didn't miss a single issue (64 of them, counting the #0 issue and an annual) even while dealing with his late wife Kim Yale's cancer.
		Ostrander even did an issue featuring the Spectre's Golden-Age sidekick (Percival Popp, Super Cop), a comic-relief character whom no one would have faulted Ostrander for sweeping under the rug in embarrassment.
		He seems to be Ostrander's idea of a "good Christian": strong in his faith, courageous in his convictions, genuinely concerned about those in need of guidance, forgiving and understanding (even of his superiors and theological rivals), and a bit of a heretic.
