A place for all things geek... ONCE UPON A GEEK is a blog that focuses on a variety of geeky topics, including: comic books, Doctor Who, Star Wars (classic and legacy characters), role-playing, 80’s TV shows, and science fiction in general. However, any topic is really fair game. Don't forget to share your thoughts by adding comments!
By day, The Irredeemable Shag plays the part of a wealthy industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. By night, he is a frightening creature that strikes terror into the hearts of criminals!
... or ...
maybe The Irredeemable Shag managed a comic book store for four years, and a movie theater megaplex for three years. Nowadays he's just a really vocal geek on THE UNIQUE GEEK, a semi-regular on the VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX podcast, and runs the ONCE UPON A GEEK and FIRESTORM FAN blogs.

I recently had another opportunity to interview Gerry Conway, comics and TV legend! This time Michael Bailey (from the Views from the Longbox podcast) and I interviewed Gerry together.

I’ve appeared on several podcasts in the past few months, but have been horribly negligent about giving them a shout-out here. These were all podcasts hosted by my good buddy Michael Bailey (of Views from the Longbox and From Crisis to Crisis). He’s been kind enough to invite me to participate a number of times, [...]
Dragon*Con was four days of zany geekiness with 30,000 of my closest friends. Today kicks off my recap of celebrities, costumes, events, friends, swag and more! While I’ll cover a lot, this is only a fraction of what took place during Dragon*Con 2009. At certain times, there were as many as 50 different simultaneous sessions [...]
I am loving Blackest Night! While they are only on issue #2, I feel like I’ve been reading it for months.
