Benjamin Woo is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of English at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. He holds a PhD in communication studies from Simon Fraser University and is the author of several academic articles on comics and their fans. As a younger man, Ben aspired to be a cartoonist. He submitted several embarassing pitches to Marvel and DC while in elementary school, drew editorial cartoons and a newspaper strip in college, joined a webcomics collective, and published stories in The SPX Anthology and You Ain't No Dancer vol. 2 before “retiring” from comics to follow the much more secure career path of the academic researcher.
