Hey howdy, welcome to my page at ComicSpace. Though I'm first a fan and reader, I'm also a comics creator in my spare time. In 2007 I wrote and illustrated a weekly humor serial called PEEBEEGEE, a sendup of DC Comics' "52" series and a tour of the DC-Q. Those strips are compiled, along with earlier action figure fumetti comics, at my site Paradise Bar & Grill. The first thirty strips of the peebeegee series are included here at ComicSpace, but to read the concluding pages you'll need to visit my website.

I'm a longtime comics geek, who started reading in the late Sixties and hasn't really stopped since then. My first comics love was DC's Wonder Woman, and I started her title in the middle of her de-powered, Mod days. I was a fan of the Lynda Carter TV program, and when the series was enjoying a revival on the fX Network in the early 90's, I began an unofficial guide for episodes, etc. Though I sent some drafts to DC's rights and permissions office, I just didn't have the professional panache to sell them on the idea.

Since my guide book wouldn't see print, I was eager to see it self-published on the Web. This came to pass in 1996, with the first of several websites devoted to Wonder Woman, "The Wonder Woman TV Guide." I eventually bought my own domain, SufferingSappho.com, which has grown over the years. The WW TV Guide is no more (there were better references online, I concede), but I still maintain a site at SufferingSappho.

Though I was once a fan of DC and Marvel, the latter company alienated me as a reader, throughout the 90's. The stupid gimmicks and glut of X-books forced me out of the "House of Ideas," and I've never really had the desire to go back. These days I still read Wonder Woman, plus a selection of other DC titles. My taste in comics seldom veers from the superhero genre, but I still get a lot of mileage out of books like Transmetropolitan, Promethea, and Fables.
