Superheroes, science fiction, comedy, pulp fantasy... it\u2019s been an embarrassment of riches, and there\u2019s more on the way. (Which is good news, since he loves his work.)\r\n\r\nWhen not turning out stories for other publishers, Erik fills his time working on the webcomic Downside, trying to learn an instrument (badly), and going for walks (this he does okay at.)\r\n\r\nErik still lives in Minnesota; any rumors about this being because he's completely afraid of the forty-nine other states (and Canada) remain unverified at this time.
