INTRODUCING THE STAFF
The driving force behind the website is Richard Boom.
Richard’s love for the BadGrrl/GoodGrrl genre (as confessed here and here) started way back in the early 90s when he discovered some Harris Vampirella comics, as well as jumping on board of the train called Image Comics, with lovely titles such as Witchblade, Darkchylde, Avengelyne and many more.
In 2001, Richard started BadGrrlFanClub via Yahoo Groups, where he distributed all the news about strong female persona’s and gathered a wide following.
After taking those first steps, Richard increased his presence in the world of comics, from working at conventions (F.A.C.T.S.) to Headlines Editor at a comic book news site (Broken Frontier) to even get in the comic business itself doing PR work and helping artists around the globe find gigs (via Boom Art Department) and editing comic books (Nancy In Hell On Earth, Rogues!) and translating Ravine, Tomb Raider and Dragon Age.
Richard currently is also working on a comic book series and art book, based on his favorite sketchbook theme, Hot Mummy!

His short fiction has appeared in the anthologies Best New Zombie Tales 2, The Dead Walk Again!, Doctor Who: Short Trips: Farewells, Untold Tales of Spider-Man, The Ultimate Hulk, If I Were an Evil Overlord, Lorelei Presents: House Macabre, The Vampire Almanac 2, Tales of the Shadowmen 4: Lords of Terror, and Urban Temples of Cthulu.

Kevin Given
Kevin is a Speech/Communications major from the University of Maine System.
He has studied with the Longridge Writers Group and Writers Boot Camp.
Kevin is the author of the Karl Vincent Vampire Hunter series which includes the comic book series and the novels Last Rites: The Return of Sebastian Vasilis and Foul Blood.
Kevin’s love for comic books began when he was 5 years old and picked up his first Fantastic 4 comic book and he became hooked on Marvel, collecting such titles as “Hulk” “Tomb of Dracula” “Spiderman” but he also collected DC’s “Batman” Charlton’s “E-Man” and Gold Key’s “Star Trek” among other’s.
Kevin isn’t very pleased with the big two comic companies Nowadays so he primarily sticks with independent and small time publishers. He’s glad that he can still read “Star Trek” comics thanks to IDW and follows a few of the franchises like “Dark Shadows” and “Planet of the Apes.”
