Ryan is an import from upstate New York that moved to the Madison area 5 years ago. He works full time at St Mary’s hospital as a Registered Nurse and has been reading comics for 20 years. With his father being a free-lance artist in the late 70′s and early 80′s, Ryan has been known to dabble in artwork, resin casting and model making. He has been working at Westfield Comics for about a year and we don’t have the heart to tell him what decade it is. Almost all of his interests are from the 80′s; everything from Chuck Taylor kicks to Van Halen…not Van Hagar, original Star Wars, and GI Joe.
