Fifteen years ago, Bleeding Cool began. Headhunted by William Christensen and Mark Seifert of Avatar Press, taking me from Comic Book Resources, where I had written the Lying In The Gutters column for seven years.
Before then, I had been reporting on comic books on Usenet, Twist And Shout, The Gutter Press and All The Rage for ten years at that point. Tot it up, and yes, I have been reporting on comic books online for thirty-two years. But only then did it become an actual career. Which also makes me the longest-standing digital reporter on anything in the world. Bleeding Cool initially grew up around me, but now it is its own creature, of which I remain a small, if hopefully notable, part.
When I was writing for Ain't It Cool I would always side trip to BC each week and enjoy your alternate view of the industry. Mark Wheatley: Congratulations! That's downright ancient for Internet time. Peter Hogan: Do we give you the bumps, or what? Jonathan Christopher Matthewson: Happy Birthday Chap! Byron Brewer: Congratulations! Gus Ponce: Congratulations Rich! I remember the early Lying in the Gutters days Brian Cronin: Congrats! David Brooke: Congratz! 13 for AIPTcomics.
