Editor & Author: Kelson Vibber

Kelson is a 30-ish web developer and sysadmin who lives in Southern California with his wife.  He has been reading comics since the age of eight, starting at DC and gradually moving out toward indies.  He first started reading The Flash with the launch of Wally West’s series in 1987, and has since tracked down all of Barry Allen’s run and a significant part of Jay Garrick’s.

Kelson launched Speed Force in June 2008 as a companion to his Flash fan reference site, Flash: Those Who Ride the Lightning.
