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.
You decide...Listen up folks! I recently appeared on three, count ‘em THREE, geeky podcasts. Be sure to give each of these episodes a try and support these podcasts! GIRLS GONE GEEK Each month a group of us geeks get together to chat about comic books. Our “Geek Lunch” consists of: Vanessa G. & E. Peterman (from […]
I consider myself a pretty big Star Trek fan. I’ve seen most of the TV episodes, all the movies, and read quite a few of the novels and comics. However, I don’t hold a candle to the guys over at Two True Freaks! These fellas really know their Star Trek! This month they were kind […]

If you haven’t already, go now and sign the petition to put BATGIRL: YEAR ONE the animated DVD back into production! Stella from Batgirl to Oracle: The Barbara Gordon podcast has shouted from the rooftops and I recommend we mobilize on this. Here are the details as provided by Stella: In an interview with Bruce […]
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. Gerry was extraordinarily generous with his time sitting down with us for about two hours. What a great guy! Previously I interviewed Gerry about Firestorm, a […]
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, […]
I am loving Blackest Night! While they are only on issue #2, I feel like I’ve been reading it for months. The build up in Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps has been expertly done, and the mini-series itself is outstanding. The third issue is due out September 16 and I can’t wait! The variant […]
Just a heads-up, I appeared on a recent podcast of THE UNIQUE GEEK. This time out the crew was reviewing the zombie book World War Z by Max Brooks. On the podcast was Jon (The Unique Geek), Cary, Widge (NeedCoffee.com), Ron, and myself. I’m not normally a fan of zombie stories (unless we’re talking George […]
