Well hello everyone!
So many favourites and comments already, it's a little confronting but really exciting as well. Name's Daniel for starters and I have made this Deviant art to show my budding skills in photoshop and display my comic books. I hope you all like them! I am pleased to be in the Noir Group already, it's grand!!!

My name is Daniel and I love comic books!

When I was really young I never collected any titles or followed a particular character but I would always find them in super-cheap stores like St. Vinne’s or LifeLine, and also at garage sales. I just loved the way they looked and read, they were all so colourful and commanded my attention. When I got to High School, I started to collect more seriously and I have never turned back.

Some of the best comics I have ever read include, Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, V for Vendetta, The Invisibles, All Star Superman, Preacher, Scott Pilgrim, Animal Man, The Long Halloween and Arkham Asylum: A Serious House for a Serious World, just to name a few. My favourite authors to follow in the comic book world are Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, Mark Millar, Garth Ennis, and Gail Simone. Artists I follow include Frank Quitely, Jim Lee, and our home grown Aussie talents, Nicola Scott and Stewart McKenny.

I am always looking for inspiration to my writing and I am working on lots of ideas for stories and series. My dream is to one day to work for DC Comics writing Batman, but I would love the chance to make Aquaman a force to be reckoned with again, yet if I ever do make it to the big league (fingers crossed!), I will never forget that I got my first break at Guardian Comics thanks to Paul. If you are interested in following my thoughts and the titles and stories I am working on you can find them at www.iicb.com.au and if you want to listen to my opinions on a variety of topics, my mate David and I run The Averagers Podcast ([link]). Other things I do in my spare time include playing video games, writing poetry, cosplaying, studying philosophy and theology, and spending time with mates.

Thanks, I'll try not to miss it.
As for Mr Moore, I don't think there's anyone that's come across his work and not liked it. A very inspiring writer.

He is one in a million thats for sure. Love Watchmen, From Hell, V for Vendetta, Promethea. The thing about Mr. Moore, in my opinion, even when his writing or concept or end product is 'bad' or 'meh', it's still great, eg. Lost Girls, wasn't that into it and I didn't like it, but man it read great! lol
