Trained historian. Enthusiastic researcher of African American & Early America history. Comics are my escape. Raised in LA, now lives in Boston.
My local comic book shop (LCS) in Boston really does a good job to welcome people and know it’s cool to like comics and all other sorts, like manga and cards. Ever in Boston, stop by at Friar Tuck’s Comics & Collectibles! 👍🏼😎 Next time, I’ll take pictures inside. 🤭 #comics

You probably don’t remember me from last year, but I finally was sent back the copy of Absolute Batman 1 graded from that chaos in Midtown Comics last year. Thanks, @ssnyder1835.bsky.social & @nickdragotta.bsky.social !! I can handle conventions, but NYC Midtown lines are something else for me.

Thanks @ssnyder1835.bsky.social for signing my copy of Absolute #Batman 8. It’s one of my favorite variants from your run.

There’s a paperback edition of “Gotham City: Year One” coming out in April. I’ve already preordered, but I think you guys should also check it out. Great art by @philhester.bsky.social

Support the Massachusetts Historical Society. They put on great events and bring great scholars to speak, both new and recognized. I used my bonus this week to support MHS. It’s worthwhile ! search.app/WVLfLPGEbYUD...
