    Back when I was in college I went on a blind date. I drove all the way to NYC to meet her. All I knew about her at the time was she said she was a writer. I get there, we meet up, and it turns out she really was a writer…for DC Comics.

    So in addition to dinner and a movie, I was treated to a tour of the Manhattan DC Comics offices, saw some cool props like the Catwoman costume that Michelle Pfeiffer wore. I also took the opportunity to pick her brain a little about how writers and artists collaborate to bring a comic to life. The following morning we met up for breakfast before I headed home.

    It never went further than that single date but damn what a memory.

      I went on a date with a guy who wrote a particular comic book character (amongst other things). I didn’t find that out until he was already in my car.

      It turned out to be a problem, because my secret date idea was to go see the currently playing movie about the aforementioned comic book character … and the last thing he wanted was to see a mangled version that had been run through the Hollywood machine.

      There wasn’t a second date, but at least the movie was enjoyable :-)
