The past is prologue. I'll give you my introduction first. At present I am a manager at Oxford Comics, the largest comic retailer in the Southeast. I've also been an art director, graphic designer, comic book letterer and advertising illustrator. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Velcro who has quite a reputation among the Atlanta comics community in his own right. I rescued him from Jim Royal, the inker, who couldn't deal with Velcro's endless shenanigans and bad behavior. Atlanta metro is full of comic book artists and writers. Laura Martin, the colorist, and her husband live in my neighborhood...but some artists, like Mark Brooks and Paul Jenkins, live far away in the suburbs and don't come to town that often. Other artists who live here include Georges Jeanty, the Buffy artist, Dexter Vines, inker extraordinaire, Adam Hughes, Cully Hamner, Brian Stelfreeze, Steve Scott, Tom Feister, Stephanie Gladden, Rich Tommaso and Bob Burden (of course). This list is far from complete. My apologies to all the artists who don't come to mind at this moment.

Great list, you should add them to the ATL page like I did the Toronto artist with the Toronto page.
ADAM HUGHES is the man. Please tell him thank you for all his wonderful covers.
Paul Jenkins may just be the most underrated Hellblazer writer, he gets no reprint love.

And me! You forgot me, Roxanne! :D

@Roxanne Starr: Its cool. As for the wiki I am brainstorming how I want to approach the tone.  I don't want it sounding to beatnik or snotting or fake. I want it perfect for you.

Just the facts, Silk! No opinions.
 
I know that Wikis are considered "editorial" writing...but DON'T editorialize! 
 
Take a look at the ComicVine Wiki that I wrote about myself. It is a perfect example of what a Wiki SHOULDN'T be. :-)

@Roxanne Starr: Okay, no mention of how you have the most notorious dog in the comic book circle.
