I’m a theatre guy, but my heart has always belonged to comics. My first foray into comics was when my dad bought me two copies of every issue of the Masters of the Universe comic series from Marvel’s Star Comics imprint in the 1980s, and from then on I was hooked. I teach at a number of different colleges in the Chicago area, including one course on the History of Superheroes (Neal Adams himself once told me I ought to be ashamed of himself for this). I love good stories, no matter the medium, and I’m a raging lefty.
