I've been a comics fan since 1974 when I asked for a copy of 'Cracker' (old UK 'funny' comic) and was misheard and given a copy of Dracula Lives instead.It wasn't superheroes, but it was my first Marvel comic. I also got into Marvel comics via the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, which I loved. I did read some DC but Stan had brainwashed me into being a loyal Marvelite - also I didn't like their stuff as much. I stopped collecting in the 90s, well, lots of people did. I started again a few years back, but my heart is really in those Marvels from 1963 to about '85.
I wanted to be a Marvel artist, and though it never happened, i am a professional artist now, and if I may, here's a link to my website and a couple of pieces from it:
