Contributor Biographies

Julian Darius Julian Darius created Sequart.com and remains its owner, editor, and dominant creator. Besides being the sole author of The Continuity Pages proper, he has also authored several other miscellaneous works on this site. His column Sequential Culture debuted with this site in August 2002, and he began The Comics Blotter, a news column, in October 2003.

The son of a professor and an ordained minister (the two occupations most likely to produce psychosis in offspring), Julian Darius holds an M.A. in English literature and has presented at numerous scholarly conferences. He is presently studying for his Ph.D. at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where he also teaches. He lives on the 27th floor of a skyscraper in Waikiki, where he dreams often of his sweet baby Tatiana, his parents' Welsh terrier who likes to kill squeekies.

Julian Darius can be reached at julian@sequart.com. His personal website is PersianCaesar.com.

Matt Martin Matt Martin writes the review column Optic Verve, which dates back to the launch of Sequart.com's predecessor, ContinuityPages.com. His column was quickly picked up to be reposted on slushfactory.com, which was subsequently absorbed into ugo.com, but Sequart.com remains his true devotion.

Matt Martin lives in Carbondale, Illinois, where he works at a comic book store and guides its patrons to good comics between exchanging insults.

Bryan Miller Bryan Miller began his review column, New Comics Day, in August 2003. He wrote previously for savantmag.com.

He earns a poor excuse for a living as a freelance writer and holds a staff writer position at Nightlife. He has also sold hotdogs, taught at DePaul University, been the public relations man for a now-indicted politician, done standup comedy and worked in comics retail. But he really wants to be an astronaut. Or maybe a cowboy. He lives in Chicago, Illinois.

Bryan Miller can be reached at bryan@sequart.com.

Jeff Chon Jeff Chon began Arbiter of Good Taste, his column reviewing graphic novels and trade paperbacks, in March 2004. With Bryan Miller, he wrote previously for savantmag.com.

A more detailed biography will be available soon.

Jeff Chon can be reached at jeff@sequart.com.

Mike Phillips Mike Phillips took over The Comics Blotter column from Julian Darius in May 2004. Mike has been hooked on Sequart.com since early 2003. Through a near-constant barrage of enthusiastic e-mails, he forced himself into Julian’s life and let it be known that he would one day be a contributing part of this website. Julian graciously offered him the Blotter, and Mike plans on making the most of the opportunity.

In his civilian guise, Mike is a middle school science teacher and resides in Southern New Jersey, just outside of Philadelphia. Besides comics, his other main passion is playing in his rock band Halfling.

Mike Phillips can be reached at mike@sequart.com. Visit his band’s website and learn more about that facet of his life at www.halflingmusic.com.
