Writer of MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS, Inker on SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
I set about creating a “handbook” in the form of my own self-published comic book entitled, How To Pick Up Girls If You’re A Comic Book Geek, in 1997. A one-shot, full-color, 40 page comic that I had to take a home equity loan out to get it printed.

The book was a bona fide hit and I decided shortly thereafter to make it into an ongoing series entitled The 3 Geeks.  In 1999 when I was nominated for three Eisner Awards and the title became Geeksville. Image Comics also published it for a while. Most recently I did a full-color issue called “Jim’s Jerky” that included a free chunk of beef jerky with the comic. For me The 3 Geeks comic is all about fun. I always try my best to make that comic innovative, fresh and fun.
