About J. Spyder Isaacson
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I'm mostly a DC/Marvel fan, but can answer a wide variety of questions on pretty much anything but romance and sword-and-sorcery comics. Ask away and find out if I have the answer. (Even if I don't, I can probably guide you to where you CAN find it!) PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME to give you a value on comics - that is only possible by direct physical evaluation of the individual issues.

Experience
I've been a collector for almost 35 years of mostly (but not entirely) super-hero titles, with occasional forays into other types of comics. I also personally know a few comics artists/writers, and am VERY experienced with Web Comics as well.

Organizations
Theatre Puget Sound, Magical Mystery Troupe, Snoqualmie Falls Forest Theatre, former board member of Centerstage Theatre Conservatory.

Publications
Miscellaneous national defense trade journals and science fiction/fantasy fanzines.

Education/Credentials
B.A. in Theatre Arts, Gonzaga University. Currently pursuing M.Ed. from Western Governors University.
