Meet Gary Hanauer! California-based writer, publicist, and first-time screenwriter with a serious case of "curiosity overload." When he's not writing, you'll find him birdwatching (hummingbirds are favorites) or swimming laps. He's a collector at heart—from stamps to shells—but his crown jewels are a 34,000-issue comic book collection and autographs ranging from Presidents Truman and LBJ to Sandy Koufax, Bob Hope, and literary icons like Thornton Wilder. Gary has said, "I once tried to contain myself, but I escaped."
