Interview with Dylan from “Dylan Universe Comics”
This all started on a chilly October day in 2010 when he went venturing into my attic. Upon stumbling upon a box of my father’s childhood comics, he quickly became mesmerized with the colorful pictures of well-read Saturday afternoons from nearly 40 years ago.
Tales of superheroes saving the day (Superman & Batman), kids dealing with real-life problems (Archie & Friends), and Tarzan swinging through the trees created a spark. It created a passion, which became not only a hobby, yet a business as well.
Now Dylan is swinging like Tarzan, as the youngest ever advisor to the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, which is sold in book stores around the world. Since age 11, he has been collecting, buying, selling, and attending shows around the country.
Comics are Dylan’s life, and his day always has an aspect of comic books in it. Whether it is making up more comic boxes, or pursuing the next collection, comic books will always have a special place in Dylan’s heart.
Paul is Dylan’s father and lovingly helps him with his business. This also creates father & son bonding time.
