213 Acknowledgments For core support, I’m grateful for my wife, Beth, as well as our boys, Owen and James. I hope this book helps them both understand why Dad’s at his desk when they wake up. I also recognize the keen eye of Warren Frazier for encouragement and instrumental feedback on early drafts of this story. For their camaraderie, I thank my many good colleagues at Shippensburg University, among them Zach Savich, whose generous response to a whiny phone call led directly to this manuscript finding a home. I’m grateful for the many comic book writers and illustrators who delighted me in my youth and taught me so much about the art of narrative: Peter David, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Art Adams, Jim Starlin, John Romita Jr., Kazuo Koike. Lastly, my deep thanks to Michael Griffith, an editor who earns that title on every page. ...
