Interview Series with Former Marvel Writer/Editor - Barry Dutter

This interview series is with none other than Mr Barry Dutter! In some of the Facebook Comic Groups I'm in, he's been a long time seller. After his time at Marvel he's gone on to remain in the entertainment industry through writing and being on gameshows. I've bought from him several times and he's a great seller that always has great books. He's also been gracious enough that when I started selling he gave me some really good advice. I figured he'd be an excellent person to interview for the blog and would have some great stories to share!

This week's interview is with one of my favorite online shops, Scorpion Comics.

If you haven't checked out their site, I highly suggest them, as they have some amazing artists they've collaborated with in the past for some top notch cover art. And they always take great care in packing and shipping books timely in my experience.
