His learning curve on graphic novels in just a few short years is nothing short of phenomenal. If you've ever met him in person, he's an absolute dynamo, so full of energy, and he'll just carry you along in his enthusiasm. And it's utterly sincere! It's so cool he's now working for Diamond Book Distributors! He intends to conquer the world for graphic novels, I kid you not! I worked with John when he was at Brodart.
