It started in 1996 when I started collecting MAD Magazine. I would go to comic book stores looking for back issues, special issues and books. One of the stores I went to was Comicazi, the comic book store I have been faithful to for the past 5 years. One day while there, I came across “Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes”. I recognized it because earlier that year I had read Jill Thompson’s “Death at Death’s Door” which is a spin off of “Season of Mists”. My friend bought me the trade and that started my love affair with Neil Gaiman. From that I branched out into more Vertigo stuff and well, now I probably spend more money on comics than anything else.

The stuff I read/like is; Sandman, Fables, Jack of Fables, The Sword, Watchmen, The Walking Dead, The Molting, Arkham Asylum, Sin City, Hush, Batman: The Long Halloween, Batman: Secrets, The Killing Joke, Batman Detective, Grimm Fairy Tales, Return to Wonderland, Dark Knight Returns, Bone and many more.

Favorite Writers: Neil Gaiman, Terrance Zdunich, Alan Moore and Frank Miller

Favorite Artists: Sam Kieth, Terrance Zdunich, Alex Ross, Dave McKean and Frank Miller
