This blogger picks up info on Joe Mad and his early start in cartooning.

Joemad aka Joe Madureira - At the early age of sixteen, Joe Madureira began his dream of pursuing a career in comics. A student at the High School of Arts and Design in Manhattan, Madureira received an internship job working at Marvel Comics part-time. During his internship, he met associate editor Mark Powers, who introduced him to editor Terry Kavangah. Kavangah was impressed enough with Madureira to assign him an eight-page ‘Northstar’ story, which ran in Marvel Comics Presents #92. The first Madureira story to see print was the second story he drew, a ‘Mojo’ tale in #89.
