An incurable book-head, fascinated with the motley world of overdressed and half-naked gods that makes up all the interesting religions - especially comic books.
I love my three cats, because I am working on being a crazy old woman.
I am a fan of many superhero comics, but most especially the Superman Family, Captain Marvel (SHAZAM!), Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, Hulk, Thor and Wonder Man. Some of my favorite writers and artists are Curt Swan, Elliot S! Maggin, Jim Starlin, Jack Kirby, Walt Simonson and Chris Claremont. I buy TPB and digital these days, since they're written and illustrated for that medium to begin with.
I also love philosophy of religion and comparative mythology; in the first case Walter Kaufmann, Nietzsche, Thomas Carlyle, George H. Smith and H.L. Mencken; in the second case I'm especially partial to Slavic, Persian and Norse mythology. I was briefly educated at Reed College before I dropped out and made far more money than most college graduates these days by managing a toy store.
