[Psychodelic SeaSlug has been my penname since 1986, of which I've "written" 2 sci-fi novels, just by hand for now, and a dozen short stories. PsychCSlug is my aol name since 1995. I've used PsychComics1991 on aol, since 2003, for comic related ebay stuff. (now for this ComicSpace stuff)]

My Avatar is from the 2005 San Diego Comicon! My first, and only, for now!

I'm a drafter/designer by education, and have used this to design all the stuff in my novels. (really the designs before writing) It's not "art," but it's the best I can do with the skills I've been given!

I have been collecting since 1991, starting with the Comico "Robotech" titles. I concentrated mostly on indy titles and small press, but in the last 10 years, I've moved on to Marvel and DC's as my primary collection.

And, I STILL use "dos" Comic Collector 2.0 to keep track of my collection!!! How many people can say that!?

Currently my hold is: (3/08)
