About Darryl Jasper
From a young age Darryl embraced everything that was geek. His first true
memory of the cinemas was seeing the line wrapped around the building for “The Empire
Strikes Back”. The light sabers and the Force had him hooked. Though it remains his
favorite sci-fi creation, Star Wars was only the beginning. Star Trek soon followed and
his obsession with the various iterations of the Enterprise took him to an actual
convention. Between these mega franchises, Darryl enjoyed all the geek cartoons of his
era: Transformers, GI Joe, M.A.S.K. Bravestarr, Silverhawks, Voltron, and the like. An
avid reader, it wasn’t long before his sci-fi and fantasy partiality in movies transferred to
his reading. Star Trek was the beginning and in a strange twist, led him back to the
novelized world of Star Wars. It has been non-stop geek since. Though comic books and
action figures have all been a part of his menu, movies, television, and books remain his
primary focus. Oh, and he’s a pretty avid gamer to boot (PS3).
Favorites: Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, BSG, Star Wars, Star Trek, Peter H. Hamilton, Stephen King, Terry Brooks, Jim Butcher, Lord of the Rings, Constantine and Hellboy (the movies), Joss Whedon, the X-Men…the list is long but distinguished.
Location: Cincinnati, OH
