Richard Starkings is a British font designer and comic book letterer, editor and writer. He was one of the early pioneers of computer based comic book lettering and as a result is one of the most prolific creators in the comic book industry. In 1992 Starkings founded Comicraft, a studio which employs letterers and designers and provides "Unique Design and Fine Lettering" services for comic books from many different publishers. In 2006 Image Comics launched an ongoing series, Elephantmen, created and written by Starkings and illustrated by many fantastic artists, including Justin Norman, Boo Cook, Tom Scioli, Henry Flint, Chris Bachalo and Chris Burnham.
Collector's Paradise Comics & Gallery has been a mainstay in the Southern California Comic Book scene since 1994. In recent years, the store has focused on offering their customers an exceptional experience that goes beyond collecting comic books, from creator appearances, to proprietary online subscription manager software, and an Art Gallery. The store recently opened its second branch, on the corner of Arroyo Parkway and Del Mar in Old Town Pasadena. The store's future plans include many new and very different ways to experience the comic book culture.
