My Origin in 20 words or less: At the tender age of
3, my mother began buying me Iron Man and Batman comics. Thus my addiction.
Influences on my Faux DC work will be Stern, Jones,
and Ordway, primarily.
I hate the way Ron Marz has handled
Superboy because he drained every ounce of fun out of
the book. Thank God Kesel and Grummett came back!!
The first DC comic I read when I get home is whichever
Superman book came out that week.
And when I'm reading that comic I listen to whatever
I'm in the mood for. Old school metal, mostly, but it could be anything.
I have a fairly eclectic CD collection.
And when I ain't writtin' or readin' comics, I avoid
doing my school work in other ways, such as watching old episodes of
Star Trek.
But all of this is irrelevant 'cos we're all just supporting
characters in somebody else's life.
