 Brian Hibbs
Brian Hibbs has owned and operated the comic retailer Comix Experience in San Francisco since 1989. He is the author of Tilting at Windmills (originally serialized in Comics Retailer magazine) from IDW Publishing. These columns have graced the pages of Comics Retailer since its inception. Containing useful guidelines for new and established retailers who sell comics in this pop culture hungry world, Tilting at Windmills was also startlingly prescient about the rise and fall of the comics industry in the '90s. An index of Tilting at Windmills on Newsarama can be found right here.
 Abhay Khosla
Abhay Khosla refuses to provide our website with a short biography. Instead we got this 5 page e-mail about how he "refused to prostitute himself to nerds" or something. Oh god, we hate him.
 Diana Kingston-Gabai
Diana Kingston-Gabai started reading comics when she was fourteen; her move from England to the Middle East forced a lengthy hiatus, but fortunately the last comic she read was "X-Men: Omega" so she was pretty sure the Marvel Universe had blown up anyway. Years later, she picked up Grant Morrison's "E Is For Extinction" on a whim, and that led to an extensive romp through the best of Marvel, DC, 2000AD, Image and Dark Horse. She also became a big fan of webcomics and the unparalleled creative freedom they offer. Her favorite writers still working in comics are Brian Vaughan, Joss Whedon, the Luna Brothers, Ed Brubaker, Grant Morrison (when he's not tripping like Courtney Love on a post-rehab binge), Mike Carey, Gail Simone and Peter David. Pet peeves include editorial mandates, writer's fiat, John Byrne Syndrome (ego > talent) and favoritism trumping stylistic compatibility.
 Jeff Lester
Jeff Lester's icon is a giant fucking tooth. That's right. A giant fucking tooth.
 Joe McCulloch
Joe McCulloch is the international muscle king behind Jog - The Blog, the
internet site that is actually Heaven itself. He can be read print-style in
The Comics Journal and Comics Comics.
 Graeme McMillan
Graeme McMillan's favorite comics today are Jack Kirby's Fourth World books, Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim and Eddie Campbell's autobiographical stuff. His favorite person is Kate. His favorite word is "pistachio," and his favorite musical instrument is probably a crunchy Hammond B3. He's written for Newsarama, io9, Comics International and Comic Foundry, appeared on panels at San Diego and is more shy than he seems.
 Douglas Wolk
Douglas Wolk is the author of Reading Comics, and has also written about
comics for the New York Times, Salon, the Washington Post, Publishers
Weekly and elsewhere. He also blogs at Lacunae.
