Charlie Irons - more commonly known as "The IronChuck" - has been inspired and influenced by his hobbies from a very early age; starting with his unwitting parents taking him to a showing of a quirking SciFi movie released in 1977. That, married with finding a horde of old Batman comics on a family skiing trip the following year, began his life long love affair with comics and science fiction.
It's been pretty much down hill from there...
Sure, you could call him obsessed. But, it'd be more accurate to say he's very passionate about his craft. He's been an avid attendee of comic conventions, and their many panels and workshops. In school he's purused degrees in Art, Animation, and now Graphic Design.
Recently, IronChuck has realized his life long dream by launching his own webcomic label, Neverland Transit Authority, and its first title; Galactic Gun: The Adventures of Justin Bailey. Galactic Gun is a genre bending SciFi action thriller that has slowly matured since its inception back in 1986, after playing the break through video game hit Metroid. (Call it "inspired by", really.)
Today IronChuck works at his studio, dubbed Grand Central Station, crafting the next line of NTA Comic titles. He does this by himself. There's a lot of scotch involved.
