I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Hola Jeff--Dr. Strange was far and away my favorite of all comic book comics as a kid, with other Marvel series distinctly lagging behind him (Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Spiderman...never was much for DC myself); with the usually quite impressive Cumberbatch at the helm and hopefully their A-team writers, I'll definitely watch this one. I had a real thing about wanting to open up a good solid third eye as a kid, and Strange MD seemed to be providing ideas, ha. --Pete
I'd never noticed Strange - I was more the Spiderman sort - but I'm interested to see where this is all going in the Marvel multiverse.
