About the Author

I’m a 30-ish web developer living in Southern California with my wife.  I’ve been reading comics since I was eight, mostly DC, though I’ve expanded into indies over the past decade or so.  I first started reading The Flash with the launch of Wally West’s series in 1987, and I’ve since tracked down all of Barry Allen’s run and a significant part of Jay Garrick’s.

Find me Online

I visit the following forums at least once a week (sometimes more often) using the handle “Kelson”:

I have also recently started posting on the DC Message Boards Flash forum (yeah, I know, scary place) as “speedforceorg” (it wouldn’t let me create an account with my usual handle, even though it doesn’t seem to be in use), though I try to stick with posting information and not getting into debates.

I have a ComicSpace Profile, but I hardly ever log in. My main blog is at K-Squared Ramblings.

I keep meaning to put up a contact page, but for now you can reach me by email at speedforce -at- pobox -dot- com.
