Publishing software executive by day - Freelance Writer & Editorand "Pop-Culture Historian" by night. I blame it all on Tom Swift, Stanley Kubrick and Adam West.

In the space of a few short months in the late 60’s I borrowed “Tom Swift And The Cosmic Astronauts” from the local library, not longer after I watched “2001”; at the movies, and thanks to Adam West and the Batman TV show discovered Comic Books! Since then I've managed to publish a couple of books; and had magazine articles on comics, music and the movies published in Europe, Australia , Canada and the US . I'm currently working on a couple of new book projects as well as a few comics series, while still pitching the occasional magazine article on the side

You can always keep up with my day to day happenings and latest writing project news at my LiveJournal or via Twitter.

Hi Alan! Just wanted to thank you for bringing ComicSpace to our attention. This is a great community. I had no interest in or attraction to MySpace, but ComicSpace fits the bill very nicely. Good show!
