The Uatu Award: Most knowledgeable Member



"The man is a fountain of knowledge on ancient airplanes, music, obscure comics, history and fine whisky! I therefore nominate him as I raise a glass of 12 years old Aberfeldy!"




"From microbiology to Canadian weather patterns to classic movies to Conan to the cosmos itself, RR's understanding of a panoply of subjects is vast and comprehensive. No mere quoter of Wikipedia, he."




"Be it here on the boards or in one of Icctrombone's Zoom meetings, I am always awed by MDG's knowledge of obscure (well, obscure to me) underground comics as well as classic books and strips. He always has some cool first-person anecdote to tell about a particular creator or some piece of artwork. I'll admit it frankly: I'm a little awed by the breadth of his experience!"




"I am always learning something new and fascinating from every post made by M. W. Gallaher, from his knowledge of the space program to his insights about obscure comics, sales numbers, Jim Aparo, and behind-the-scenes information about comics publishing. My only complaint about him is that he doesn't post as often as I'd like. "




"He is Cei-U! Jr. based on his knowledge of Golden Age comics."





"for his knowledge of the business side of the funnybook business and his willingness to tell it like it is, not how we want it to be. Oh...and toys. And other things. "





"He has surprised me with this deep understanding of the history and the important creators that have made this hobby great. It's more than a surface knowledge and it's illuminating to read his posts." -- Icctrombone




"Not only does he seemingly know everything about old American funny books, but he manages the tricky balancing act of simultaneously being incredibly generous with sharing his knowledge and enriching our discussions, without ever once coming across like a know-it-all smart arse." -- Confessor




"...who needs no explanation" -- wildfire2099




"Really...does this one need any explanation. Our own working comics historian." -- Slam_Bradley
