Who am I as a Fan?

I read comics since the appearance of Comics 21, an initiative of Peru 21 (a local newspaper) to introduce the ninth art in the Peruvian market (I estimate it was in 2008-2010). I went to my first Comic-Con in 2011. I was at the MCM London Comic Con in May 2016 and at my second Comic-Con in 2017.

During these 10+ years, I have seen the industry grow exponentially, both in the world and in Peru, and I think it is nowhere near its peak.

I think the important thing is always to reach more people. Having people who only saw the Spider-man movies become interested in reading one of his comics. Or pushing those who don't know who Ms. Marvel is to watch the series on Disney+. I think this industry should be for everyone, and the job of those of us who follow it is to integrate more people into our community.

With this Substack I do my bit to share and inform people who want to know a little more about the world of comics and its influence in movies, series, Funko Pop!, amusement parks, books, and much more.
