User:Mikeross22

I am well-versed in the history and culture of comic books, especially independent or alternative "comix." My Wikipedia editing has mostly focused on comics creator biographies and small press comics publishers. I also have some knowledge of Vietnam War films, Major League Baseball, Western art history, and the music of Prince.
