I am Dean Compton, and I have been into comics as long as I can recall. I didn’t get seriously into them until my teen years, but there isn’t a part of my life where I didn’t love superheroes. I also enjoy wrestling, politics, history, quantum mechanics, McDonaldLand crap, and more. Like Unspoken Decade on Facebook.
