Who runs this place?

 

Chuck Moore Chuck Moore / Creator, Owner

For the last few years, it's been a massive staff of one driving most of what you see on the site. Lately our Comic Related family has been gowning by leaps and bounds. Now, I contribute content to the site, coordinate and organizing what you see and post each update. I proudly update 8 to 16 times every 24 hours.

 

What's my story? I grew up in southern Ohio. I owned seven comic shops in the 80's [details]. I moved to Kentucky. I ran a radio station and did an alternative music show in the 90's. I traveled and did press work for the unlimited hydroplane racing series and ESPN in the 00's. As the current decade heads toward its close, I stopped traveling so much, bought a farm and started a comic book web site. That's it in a nutshell. Here's the rundown my internet exposure...

 

Social networks: MySpace, ComicSpace, Facebook, and Tribe

Twitter: Look above and to the right for my regularly updating feed.

Blog: In addition to writing for this site I have a personal blog hosted in our forum.

Forums: You'll find me regularly posting in our forums and at Ka-Whump, ComicBloc, CBR,

     and Indie Spinner Rack.
