Jeph Loeb. Frank Miller. Alan Moore. Brian K. Vaughan. Brian Wood. Until a few years ago, these names meant nothing to me.

One name is cycling around the media these days and that name belongs to the sexy female star in Transformers 2. If you haven’t guessed it by now, yes… it’s “that girl.” Megan Fox, yeah…the sexy, curvy, confident, bomb shell that’s taken the media by storm and if you haven’t heard about her, then where have you been?!

When I find an old treasure from my youth, it takes me back to the good times of my younger days, and sparks my creativity and imagination.
