Chris Eckert lives in Brooklyn and was literally given comics to teethe on in his crib. This explains so much, and not just about his teeth. Sadly, Lester took the tooth.

Dick Hyacinth was once known for saying angry things about other comics bloggers, then for writing about Trader Joe’s junk food, then for compiling year’s best lists into one big list (the semi-beloved Meta-list), and finally for making jokes about Ben Grimm’s penis. He’d like to think he’s the second-most prominent vegetarian and second- or third-most prominent MMA advocate in the comics blogosphere. His blog can be found here.

John’s life changed forever the day he opened a comic and was faced with the spectacle of time travelling cowboys harvesting dinosaurs and finding out that sometimes the food chain runs both ways. He was 7. He is no longer 7 but continues to hang around comics like a bad smell pointing out the obvious in convoluted sentences that make people wish for death. He writes exclusively for The Savage Critics until such time as they come to their senses and is probably currently thinking about Howard Victor Chaykin.

Abhay Khosla refuses to provide our website with a short biography. Instead we got this 5 page e-mail about how he “refused to prostitute himself to nerds” or something. Oh god, we hate him.

Jeff Lester’s icon is a giant fucking tooth. That’s right. A giant fucking tooth.

Graeme McMillan’s favorite comics today are Jack Kirby’s Fourth World books, Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim and Eddie Campbell’s Graffiti Kitchen. His favorite person is Kate.

I hope to write about the process of giving away my old collection and some of the weird / great experiences that go along with that choice. My fondest comics-related and website-specific hope is to someday be replaced as a Savage Critic by an eleven year old who is truly enthusiastic about comics.

Tucker Stone isn’t an actual person, but a conglomerate of various individuals (mostly Russians) who write for The Factual Opinion and comiXology. They believe in unicorns, guardian angels, and the phrase “coated in gore.”
