I've been a comic book fan since childhood. The child became a man
and the fan became a comic book retailer. I wanted more out of life
and joined the San Diego Police Department in my mid-20s. I retired
after a 20-year stint and returned to comic book collecting and
retailing as a full-time job. I re-entered that world wide-eyed,
but was shocked to see how much corruption and scamming took place
in my hobby. I conveniently found that my legal skills borne from
police work gave me the tools to help victims of the flagrant
rip-offs happening everyday in the comic book world. I've worked
with crime victims and police departments to solve comic
book-related crimes and recover stolen comics for the victims. The
Forensic Comicologist is both a play on words and a proper
description of the science of collecting comic books. To add
credence to my book I spend a few chapters delving into the history
of comics, coupled with the history of collecting those comics. I
include relevance to explain why some comics are popular and others
are not. My book is a tutorial on how to collect wisely and reduce
risks. I've included colorful anecdotes and memoirs from
fan-friends of mine. The job of my book is to de-mystify comic book
collecting for novices and explain why things are the way they are.
