As I began to nurture my passion for reading, I began devouring True Detective Magazines more than Sexology, which led to a further passion for crime and drama. On many occasions, even though I did not enjoy visiting my aunt’s house, I discovered she was a True Detective Magazine fan and while there, I was able to read infinitely of my favorite magazine. In those days, many people did not own air conditioners; therefore, on one-hundred degree days, I stayed in the house absorbing every story possible and even though I started having nightmares of someone chasing me, I continued to read them. In addition to True Detective and Sexology, I read Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Archie comic books, the newspapers, and anything else I could handle. I became lost in the pages of the fantasies.

All of my young life, I was fearful of the infamous, “bomb”. This was a word that I heard a lot around the house and in the neighborhood, particularly because it was the time of war and conflicts in the sixties and seventies.

A full bore rush of adrenaline, a learning experience, an adventure to the unknown and of course there's nothing better than wearing war paint while talking with the team…

Comics, graphic novels and manga can tie generations together, can start a trend or a give a group of friends a place just to hang out. And the store that houses them can make a difference. Going into a mainstream store as opposed to a smaller-in the hole-comics/graphic novel store is a bit different.

The air was brisk and damp and the ground was churned and muddied from the countless men who had walked over it and the rain. My boots were sinking into the Earth as I stood outside my bunker in the trench and took a long drag from my cigarette. In the background I could hear the German artillery start their daily barrage, the newer men cowered at every shot, but I not did for I was accustomed to this terrible sound of death. For it was my second year in this god forsaken continent. I…
