Biography

Noooooo...! I hear you scream. Not another Herbert!

Frank Herbert, author of the Dune series, The Dosadi Experiment, The White Plague and The Jesus Incident.

James Herbert, author of mainly horror fiction, Rats, The Fog, Lair, Sepulchre, The Secret of Crickley Hall to name but a few.

...and now there's moi¿ Not that I'm ranking myself alongside either of those most exalted luminaries of the literary world. And no...there's no relation with either (unfortunately). Having said that, I'd like to think that one day my name 'just might' be worthy of being mentioned when people talk about the contribution that the Herbert name brought to the field of literary genre fiction.

Comic book Cover leads to scorn and abuse in the 'Twittersphere'

'Random thought of the moment. Well not so random. I've been a comic fan since the age of 6 or 7 years old. Growing up in the UK, I started out on your standard fare such as the Dandy and Beano, Whizzer and Chips (for those of you that go back that far), before graduating to Marvel UK titles (the adventures of Captain America and Bucky and the Invaders giving the Nazi's what for as I got to about 10 or so, then Captain Britain) before finally moving over to US versions of Marvel titles which by that time had started arriving on British shores in greater numbers and variety. Marvel, though, is and always has been a product of its times and can't claim to have always been a bastion of inclusion. It's treatment of it's many female characters has improved over the years and there are now major heroes and villains from all backgrounds, ethnicities and sexual orientations. What I'm trying to say, is the Marvel Universe is and always has been an ever-changing and evolving beast. It probably hasn't moved as quickly as some would want, but what the hell — it's trying to stay current and in my eyes you can't say fairer than that.
