Damn, Pro... I had no idea you were that old!

My name's Steve (or Stephen, if you prefer). I started reading comics at the barber shop where I used to get my haircut as a kid. I'd read
Justice League Europe and a few
Superman comics. A friend had a lot of the old Superpowers figures and we'd play with those at recess in elementary school. That was my first exposure.
I got into a Marvel phase in middle school and, by the time I was out of middle school, I thought I was completely through with comics, aside from the occasional cartoon series. Then, a friend in high school opened my eyes to Grant Morrison's
JLA run. After that, I started taking his comic recommendations, reading Ellis'
Authority and
Planetary, Moore's
Watchmen, and a few others.
Nowadays, I eat up just about anything written by Moore, Gaiman, Ellis, and Morrison. I'm currently picking up
Planetary,
JLA: Classified, and am anxiously anticipating Morrison's
Seven Soldiers project. My all-time favorite writer is Alan Moore, all-time favorite series is
Sandman, and my all-time favorite story is
Watchmen.
