Matthew Szewczyk
I have been a comic book fan since the early eighties and have read thousands of comics during that time. Some of the first comic books I remember buying with my own money at the local supermarket are Secret Wars #1, the Nam #1 and Batman #426 featuring the Death of Jason Todd. Yes, I did call the 900 number once. I voted for him to die because I did not think DC would actually do it. My bad. In the late eighties I wrote, drew and published a number of mini-comics and fanzines including Hero 358, Death Dealer and Thunder Review. E-Mail me at matthew.szewczyk@firstcomicsnews.com
