Jeff (Sheryl made me write this) Valentine has been reading comics since the tender age of 8 and has been trying to write them since he was 12. You'd think he'd have given up by now but he's pretty thick-headed. In the meantime it makes him feel like a professional to have his name associated with a fine magazine such as the Collector Times, so please read his column Comic Bookmarks and help support the fantasy.
