The Usual Gang of Misfits

Adam Bishop

Adam Bishop

Adam Bishop is an 80’s kid that has been stuck in the 90’s for almost two decades. If you want to know more about movies like Highlander, Waterworld, or Hackers; TV shows like Sliders, The Odyssey, or The Anti-Gravity Room; and best of all… Comics! Adult comics, licensed comics, or bad 90’s comics, then Adam is your guy. The amount of useless trivial knowledge Adam has packed into his brain will shock and disgust you. Adam is part of the newest addition to The Hey Kids Comics Radio Show hosting team and somehow has not been banned from the air after many of his short-lived topic changes to Adult Comics.

Martin Boruta

Martin Boruta has been reading and collecting comics for over 40 years. A lifelong fan of Captain Canuck, Martin is the curator of The Unofficial Yet Definitive Captain Canuck Comicography website. Since 2016, Martin has been reviewing comic books and highlighting great new Kickstarter projects at First Comics News. Recently Martin expanded his writing and occasionally contributes to Sequential Magazine. In his various adventures, Martin has demonstrated an innate ability to spell “Erik Larsen” incorrectly, often with metahuman-like consistency.

Dan Collins

Dan makes promises, promises to give Marty a bio for this page but so far … those promises are empty. But he does have a really cool banner for comic book convention appearances.

Chris Ellis

Chris Ellis

Co-author of the World Renowned Death Before Dishonor novel series, Chris has always been passionate about storytelling and impressed by the influence it has on people and the decisions they make in life. Chris loves engaging with the projects he works on, diving headfirst into the research, investigation, and production of stories that he feels are worth writing about.

Chris Gilpin

Chris Gilpin

Chris Gilpin has been reading and collecting comic books for decades. Having survived the Great Comic Implosion of the 90’s Chris enjoys scouring the post-apocalyptic countryside for hidden comic book gems and treasures, like a scene out of The Book of Eli. If you are selling comic books on Kijiji or Letgo you can expect a call from Chris. On the weekends Chris has a booth at the Lakefield Flea Market where you can find all sorts of deals on his comics and vintage toys. Chris is also one-half of the dynamic duo responsible for putting on the annual Peterborough Antiques and Collectables Show every April.

Martin Peterson

Co-author of the World Renowned Death Before Dishonor novel series, Martin also needs to give Martin .. not that Martin, the other Martin, an updated bio for this page. C’mon Martin, no, not you, Martin, the other Martin, sheesh, both of you, don’t be a Dan. Martin is also our resident Ninja. Stealthy.
