Juan is, of course, the artist who drew more issues of Rex Mundi than any other – the one who finished out the series. He's also one of the weirdest chaps you'll ever meet, aside from me.

The one little dark spot of Juan's visit occurred in Yankee Candle, where we uncovered a Hitler Smurf. Yes. And I have documentary evidence:

Arvid Nelson (me!) is a comic book writer, responsible for Rex Mundi and Zero Killer, among other things. I live in Northampton, Massachusetts with my lovely wife. more...Coming Up
