 I am an expert on the storylines of most DC and Marvel comics particularly the X-Men, Justice League and most Marvel comics of the 70's, 80's and early 90's. The characters with which I am the most familiar are Daredevil, Iron Man, Batman, the various members of the Justice Society, the Hulk, Captain America, the Avengers, Green Lantern, The Flash and the Teen Titans. Anything I don't know I will be more than happy to research for you until you get the answer you are looking for.

 I have extensive knowledge on comic books published from 1897 through 1975. My knowledge goes beyond superheroes to include early strip reprints from 1897-1930 or so, science fiction, horror comics of the 50s and 70s, love, crime, satire and other genres. I can provide advice on buying or selling comics as well as answering general queries.

 As a hardcore X-Men fan, I can answer any question about Marvel's Mighty Mutants. I can also answer questions about the spin-off groups (X-Factor, New Mutants/X-Force, Excalibur, Generation X, New X-Men, and the other many incarnations). I specialize in the X-universe but I can answer a lot of Marvel questions as well. Make Mine Marvel. In addition to the comics, I can answer questions about the X-Men cartoons (TAS from the 90s and Evolution) as well as the X-Men feature films. I don't have any expertise or knowledge of the DC Universe.

 I'm mostly a DC/Marvel fan, but can answer a wide variety of questions on pretty much anything but romance and sword-and-sorcery comics. Ask away and find out if I have the answer. (Even if I don't, I can probably guide you to where you CAN find it!) PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME to give you a value on comics - that is only possible by direct physical evaluation of the individual issues.

 I am an encyclopaedia of Super Hero knowledge. You need all the types of kryptonite? I am your guy? Flash variants? Right here. Why Nighthawk is so messed up? Yep. (sadly.) Hit me up with factual questions, esoteric questions or anything of an industry nature. I will not give appraisals nor tell you why your Hulk #180 is graded as a 5.6 instead of the 9.8 you think it is.

 I`ve collected comics for 40 years and I'm able to answer most questions regarding comics, creators, fandom and the industry from the Golden Age through the Silver & Bronze Ages up through today`s comics, with an emphasis on super and action heroes. I have knowledge of the Western, Funny Animals, Romance and other genres, but to a lesser degree. My expertise lies in DC Comics/National Periodical Publications, although my general knowledge extends well into Marvel, Tower, Archie, Charlton & many of the "Independent" companies that began in the late 70`s & 80`s.
