POPMATTERS STAFF Michael Arner (Comics) Click to email me My name is Michael Arner. Male. 35. Live in Pennsylvania. Have read comic books for the last 26 years. I had a few years off during that "I'm too cool for comics" phase in my mid to late teens... or was that because I had no money for comic books? Or wait, is that my reasoning now? But I still do spend a healthy amount of my income on new comics and back issues. Some of my favorite comics of all time have been: Lone Wolf and Cub, Watchmen, Micronauts (first series), Sandman, Preacher, Shade the Changing Man (Peter Milligan), Cry For Dawn, Kabuki, Beautiful Stories For Ugly Children. Other than that, I'm a voracious movie fan. I read real books without pictures occasionally. I'm not scared of the sun or outdoors and enjoy various activities in that venue. I'm not into politics as I can't say anything nice about any politician. The worst human flaw is people who think they are smart who are really stupid. It's okay not to be smart. I have written some short stories and a screenplay and currently working on another screenplay to be completed by the end of 2004. Any agents or producers are invited to contact me to purchase or option any of my writing or spec script ideas. And please don't think that I would not be interested in script doctoring either.
