“There are many reasons why I was attracted to comics as a kid and the corner box was a big part of it,” Brooks explained. “I knew what issue number and who I could expect to see in the issue. It was a little preview to tantalize the reader. It was always heads, a full figure, or a micro-scene. No matter what, it enticed me to pick the book up. It’s why I started the #LetMarkCornerbox campaign in earnest on Twitter. It was primarily a joke to express my love for the corner box. It ended up taking on a bit of a life of its own. When C.B. told me that they’d like this to become a reality, I couldn’t pass it up. I’ve penciled well over 100 heads so far. I don’t plan on stopping until Marvel says ‘okay, that’s enough!’”

I've been a comic book fan since the 80's and a collector since the 90s. Growing up, I was a fan of Spider-Man but mostly I leaned towards DC with a strong admiration for Batman and Superman.

My journey began in those neon-tinted days, thumbing through pages of riveting tales that highlighted Gotham's caped crusader, Batman, and Metropolis's beacon of hope, Superman. Fast forward to today, and my collection is a treasure trove of narratives, art, and memories.

While Batman's relentless pursuit of justice echoed my determination, Superman's unwavering morals molded my ethos. And amidst the towering skyscrapers of New York, Spider-Man reminded me of the everyday hero, juggling life's challenges with a sense of responsibility. These comics were more than just ink on paper; they were windows to a universe where hope, justice, and responsibility thrived.
