Last week, the front page of The New York Times mourned the death of Roger Moore. Shockingly, they ran a photo from Live and Let Die showing the actor, as James Bond, in bed with Jane Seymour, right there on the front page. How fitting. But thereâs a catch. While Iâm a big James Bond…
He never made a comic. He never created a TV show. He never even went to a comic convention. But his impact on Geek Media was profound. Without him, toy store aisles would be very different.

My friend Tom Tataranowicz is a talented…
Reunions remind me that I am definitely in the “Lucky Guy” category. Celebrating recent wins and remembering the good times invigorate me – and I’ve done both at my recent reunions. I may need my time alone to recharge – it drives my creative process and keeps me sane – but deep down, I’m truly…
