Born in 1979, CA, USA, although since 1986 I live in Szeged, Hungary. I'm a 3x father, an architect and of course someone with many hobbies. Most serious of them are comics and music. (Movies used to be among them, but since I have kids, going to the theater is hard to organize.)

• Hungarian comics - I'm particularly interested in Eastern European comics-culture (especially ex-Yugoslavia and Poland), but unfortunately language barriers are too high in this part of the world. So I thought I would do my share and write the part I have enough knowledge of. I would love to read a similar article about Poland or Yugoslavia. Nudge-nudge.

The_Jam_(comics) The Jam - Urban Adventure was a comic book series by Canadian Bernie Mireault, published by several companies between 1985 and 1997. The series can be placed between alternative comics and mainstream (superhero) comics. The main character, Gordon Kirby is an average citizen, who dresses up as a superhero at night and makes good deeds to others. He is more like a literally taken working-class hero with no superpowers or developed fighting skills, although he does seek dangerous crime scenes.
