| Introduction | Colonel XB goes by many names. If you want to buy his book, look for Martin Dunn on Amazon. Other known aliases include Bulldog, Dr. Death, Sir Reginald Mitchell, The Last Martian, Dunny Boy, Geek, Nerd, Hey You, That Little Bloke and many more besides. Whistle and he'll come to you. He used to work for a bank, but not anymore. He writes stories, novels and scripts. He plans more than he does. He is a geek. He wishes he could dress as the Riddler more often. His ideal woman would have a Harley Quinn costume, or at least a Zatanna tux. He wishes he hadn't just told you that, and he's getting worryingly fond of referring to himself in the third person. WILL COMPLAIN FOR PAY. |
