This is the account and user page for Henry Andrews. I mostly make occasional edits to comic-book related pages.

Comics Research Work
Since I work primarily on comic-book related articles, the following is provided to establish my areas of expertise (and lack of expertise) and to disclose potential conflicts of interest. If anyone feels that it is too self-promotional, please comment on my talk page and we'll work it out by condensing sections, removing details, or whatever.
