About Author: Matthew Szewczyk

Website: http://www.FirstComicsNews.com
Description: 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. These days I mainly read comics that I would not mind if my seven year old son picks up and looks at. Well, that and the fact I am still a big kid at heart. Follow me on Twitter, my user name is Matesamo and let me know your comic related feedback.
