Introduction

Biologist by training and inclination, web designer by accident. I have a BAS from UC Davis with majors in English and Biology. I've worked in outreach science education and was once a research specialist at the San Diego Zoo. Since I was a little girl, however, my twin passions have been animation and comic books. I still get up early on Saturday mornings to watch "cartoons" even though there is a 24-hour animation network nowadays.

Collects

My Marvel collection takes up a lot of space, although I also have a lot of anime/animation-related memorabilia and lately have been adding LotR merchandise to the mix. It's rather nifty to have a Frodo wristwatch.

Why Spider-Man

When I was a child the thing that set Marvel comics apart from the Distinguished Competition was the complex and involving storylines. Stories didn't wrap up neatly in a few pages and then vanish as if they had never happened. Events from past issues continued to have relevance. That sort of serialized story-telling was exactly what was needed to keep someone hooked for many, many years.

Favourites

The various Goblin storylines (Green- and Hob-) were my favorites, at least until they were trivialized by retcons. I love the first Hobgoblin appearances as much for their beautiful and dramatic covers as for the stories themselves.
