Richard Kraus

Armed with the astonishing ability to nitpick every major superhero release, Richard C. Kraus (Richie to his friends) is thrilled to contribute a few pieces to Bam Smack Pow! Having grown up with the Claremont run of X-Men and classic Spider-Man as bedtime stories, it's no wonder comic books remain a major part of Richie’s life to this day. His favorite superheroes are his top three X-Men, Kitty Pryde, Nightcrawler, and Banshee, the Wasp, and, of course, Ant-Man. When not flipping through a comic book, you can catch Richie acting on stage, playing Dungeons & Dragons, or figuring out his next trip to the movie theater.
