  • Marv

    Marv is the owner of comic book store expatNERD. He is business savvy and takes a customer service approach to everything he does. This allows him to not only be an effective businessman but also a promoter of comics as a medium. Further, it allows him to tolerate and actually befriend Curt who has showed up to his store every day since it opened.

    Marv and his friends’ abduction by the Guild of Space-Pirates has tested his resolve, courage, and Marv has become the leader of the group, though reluctantly. Luckily, he has Franka, his trusty colleague and friend, with him to anchor and guide him where needed. His biggest worry is Curt, who seems to be losing it. Though not an olympic-level athlete and slightly overweight, Marv is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, having taken boxing lessons in the past.Marv is the owner of comic book store expatNERD.

    40 – Making It

    Life can be hard. Especially when it comes to your dreams. Sometimes fear takes us over and we simply cannot take those first vital steps to accomplish something that will make us happy. Mostly, we do not know what makes us happy and that really is seventy-five percent of the battle.

    Franka knows what she wants and I have all the confidence in the world that her dream will come true. Especially when she has someone like Barbara to support her. Choosing a friend/partner/lover is insanely important. If you choose wisely your life is grand. Poorly, then it can be the opposite.

    We have something brewing over here at expatNERD. We have been thinking quite actively on what the next step will be. We are almost a year in publishing these comics that poke fun at the comic book industry albeit in a positive light. And I really cannot believe that. What started out as Franka and I just sort of spit-balling and really wondering if we had something to say, to forty, count them, FORTY comics later. That is quite the accomplishment and I am forever in Franka’s debt. I really enjoy producing these things and I hope you enjoy reading them.

    Perhaps these are what dreams are made of?
