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.

Below is a Fossil watch from 1989 featuring a fantastic drawing of the Joker. I’m fairly confident the artist was Kyle Baker. I […]
