	TOM DEFALCO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		TOM DEFALCO: I was about five years old and visiting a cousin who showed me my first comic.
		TOM DEFALCO: My family owned a supermarket, and everyone had to pitch in, and work long hours to keep the store going--kind of like the way a team has to work together to keep a monthly comic on schedule.
		TOM DEFALCO: I had worked for a local newspaper, produced a weekly comic strip for my college paper, and had sold a few short stories.

	COMICON.com: DeFALCO & SPIDER-GIRL DEAL WITH DATING ABUSE
		He heard a story about a teenage girl who was stabbed by her boyfriend and, as the story progressed, DeFalco heard the statistics for this type of abuse.
		DeFalco was pleased to see the story getting attention from the New York Times, but said that was never the goal of this story.
		DeFalco said he hoped this issue didn't seem too much like an "After School Special," but that would be up to the readers to decide.

	Daredevil: The Man Without Fear - Interviews
		Tom DeFalco is currently the writer of Spider-Girl, and here he talks about the upcoming Darkdevil series and also the Spider-Man: Mysterio Manifesto series.
		DeFalco: When he first appeared, I had a general idea of who Darkdevil was...but I didn't start working out the details to his origin and backstory until his second or third appearance.
		DeFalco: During the course of this series, reasons will be given to explain why Mysterio was seen to die in the Guardian Devil storyline, but is still appearing in the regular Spidey books.

	NEWSARAMA.COM: SPIDER-GIRL/LAST PLANET STANDING PRESS CONFERENCE
		DeFalco explained that Spider-Girl is the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Parker, which is set in an alternate timeline.
		DeFalco said that since the title has been revived and saved from certain death so many times, he is having a hard time believing that this may in fact be the final end for the series and the character.
		DeFalco also noted the idea of moving "May Day" Parker into the regular Marvel Universe, saying that if she was moved there, the entire tenor of the book would change, and as a character, May would become solely interested in returning to her family in a different universe.

	Tom DeFalco: Q&A
		Tom DeFalco seemingly ended 2003 on a high note, with the announcement that Spider-Girl has been renewed through issue 81 (as detailed here).
		Tom DeFalco: Spider-Girl is a light, fun, accessible comic book that features a very likable hero who really is a hero.
		Why I ask that latter part, is it seems to me you could offer a Tom DeFalco idea to the Spider-Girl message board and short of you asking to be elected president, they'd make it happen for you.

		Tom DeFalco: MC-2 is Marvel the next generation; the new generation of superheroes and villains for a new generation of readers.

	GrayHaven Magazine presents.. "The Life of Reilly" [ Chapter 9 ]
		Tom: I guess I finally okayed it because I was convinced the crew could produce one heck of a dramatic story.
		Tom: The fans were intrigued, and they were responding to the story with a passion the Spider-office hadn't seen in my twenty years with the company.
		Tom D.'s mention of Thor and Thunderstrike brings back memories of a major trend (some would call it an epidemic) that was going on at Marvel at that time - namely, taking an established character and creating a "spin-off" version of that character.

		TOM D:Don and I worked together during my days at Marvel Comics, but this is the first time we’re actually collaborating together.

	Five Manly Questions With Tom DeFalco
		Later on after college, DeFalco decided that being a prison warden was too soft of a job for a man of his special talents, so he decided to become a writer.
		Tom: The manliest of the all would have to be Big John Buscema, closely followed by his brother Sal, Rampaging Ron Frenz, Powerful Pat Olliffe and of course, Blushing Beau Smith.
		DeFalco was pretty spry for a man of his age and he was unloadin’ on me like I had missed the deadline on Kickers Inc.

	FFPlaza.com Articles: Tom Brevoort Interview
		The plan was never to replace FF, but part of the strategy was to make it seem like FF was going to be replaced -- which was probably not the best idea in the world.
		Also, the editor had taken Tom DeFalco's request for single issue stories initially a bit to literally -- Tom didn't mean not to have subplots, but that each issue should have a set-up and payoff in one installment (much like his later MC2 books).
		Tom particularly bent over backwards on some of our crazier ideas, such as bringing the Human Torch into FanForce as a member.

	[No title]
		Stern never even hinted once that Ned Leeds was a Goblin suspect (although he was immediately a fan favorite suspect), and Tom DeFalco didn't begin to focus any attention Ned's way until issue #260, when wife Betty was surprised she couldn't reach him where she thought he was supposed to be.
		So, either DeFalco's deception was working perfectly, or he wasn't doing a very good job of building a mystery since everyone seemed to zero on the same candidate, rather than at the beginning of the HobGoblin saga when Stern was writing and the guesses were all over the map.
		Even though DeFalco had his own ideas who the HobGoblin was, he clearly didn't anticipate getting fired from the lead title, either, nor did he anticipate that his duties as Executive Editor would disrupt the flow of his stories.

	The CHUD.COM Message Boards - Tom Defalco (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Tom was given carte blanche, I'm sure, because nobody was reading anyway.
		Never seemed to get away from his roots as the head of Marvel's Star comics line as most of his writing seemed to be geared to the 4-5 year old set.
		It's pretty damn sad that by the time the clone storyline rolled around that Defalco was by far the best writer of the four main Spider-Man titles (after DeMatteis left).

		Tom DeFalco: I’ve known the Moonstone for many years and think they have an exciting approach to publishing comics that are geared for the mass market and new audiences. I contributed a story to Vampire Vixens and even did a graphic novel for them…The Phantom in “Valley Of The Golden Men”
		Tom DeFalco: I believe that Genghis was a man of great responsibility who would do anything to protect his family and people. I think he started with the best of intentions—trying to make sure his family and tribe was safe from attack--and then things slowly got out of hand.
		Tom DeFalco: I’m working with Don Hudson who is a fabulous penciler and will probably be in great demand after this project sees print.

		Again, I simply don't recall Tom ever saying, "It was planned all along that the tests were rigged ahead of time." I only remember this being presented as one of many POSSIBLE ways out.

		DeFalco was kind enough to answer some questions about his work on founding the New Warriors and Nova in Spider-Girl.
		I'd like to thank Tom for giving us his insights on Nova and his plans for the M2 Nova.
		And Ron Lim and I have created a new character who will probably be published by IMAGE, and come out in late 2000 or early 2001.

		Along with a positive female lead, sharp writing from Tom DeFalco and a well defined art style began by Pat Olliffe and now continued by Ron Frenz more of the same is perfectly fine for this series.
		Reading last issue and now this one would never guess that Tom DeFalco had already penned a finale for Spider-Girl and had to scramble to come up with something else.
		DeFalco seamlessly works everyone and everything into the plot practically throwing in the kitchen sink.

		Tom: Much like myself, I consider Mayday a work in progress and I hope that her character will continue to evolve over time.

	Welcome to Silver Bullet Comics! // THE source, nuff said! // Comics, Subscriptions, News, Previews, Reviews, Events, ...
		For all of June, DeFalco works with artist Pat Olliffe to bring to the MC2 universe, Last Hero Standing, a 5-issue mini that has the heroes of MC2 taking on their biggest threat yet.
		DeFalco’s not playing around with this story: “I know you hear this every day and twice on Wednesdays, but Spider-Girl’s universe will never be the same after Last Hero Standing.
		It’s apparent that DeFalco has always held a soft spot for Marvel heroes, and with a big heart he takes the time to sell the sizzle whenever he can, be it when he has opportune access to a crowd or if he’s just talking to a person one-on-one.

	BIG STEVE - Tom Defalco's version of Thor and other things.........
		The story that made me a THOR FANATIC was “Alone against the Celestials” published in issues #397-389, again written by Tom Defalco and featuring some of the best penciling I’ve seen in ANY COMIC by Ron Frenz.
		After reading both the older story and the new issues, I noticed that Tom was emulating the style of STAN LEE (the writer of Thor back in early 1971), a writer who seemed to have a magical ability to create incredible melodrama and almost painful cliffhangers!
		I just wanted to let you know that I’m a HUGE Tom Defalco fan, and his run on Thor is one of my favorites in the entire history of Marvel comics!

		DeFalco didn't want to spoil the story by giving any specifics as to how the two universes collide or exactly what is involved in this story.
		And Tom is one of the nicest guys around, so you can guarantee I'm on-board for this.

		Later on, Tom Palmer, Mike Carlin and he noticed that the elevator had become a portal to the Negative Zone, and tried to keep John Byrne from entering, but Byrne brushed past them, and was transformed by the Negative Zone into a superhuman.
		Suddenly, Tom remembered that they both had credit cards, so Mark bought back his ponytail, Tom bought back his cigars, and they loaded up on gifts, all thanks to their corporate credit cards.
		John Byrne's depiction of Gruenwald and DeFalco in Sensational She-Hulk#50 was based on Parker's interpretation of the duo.
