I suppose I should tell you a little about myself. My name is John Louis, I live thirty miles east of Cincinnati, OH. I have been a comic book fan all of my life. I even remember the first comic book I purchased in 1968, Avengers 59, the first appearance of Yellow Jacket. A whole new universe was thrust upon me. I saw it then and now as more than an interest, fascination or even an obsession. For me it was a calling. I didn’t understand it then and still wonder about it today. I can only say that fifty years and 6000 comic books later and I am still just as enthralled.
I have a M.A. in Criminal Justice and worked in the field for over a decade. This made me at least somewhat familiar with the laws, procedures, regulations, and nuances of the criminal justice system. Hence it was a no-brainer for me to include Jim Gordon as a main character.
I am a full time magician. I believe that there is a certain similarity between the art of illusion and being a costume vigilante. Both deal in secrets, hidden techniques and more importantly the art of deception. Of course there is quite a bit of difference between the magician’s goal of presenting an entertaining show and the vigilante trying to catch the bad guy while not being caught or killed. But they do share the common goal of not wanting the methods employed to come to light.
