David Faust
David Faust was born and raised in central Alabama. In 1999 he moved to South Korea where he works as an English teacher at Dongguk University in the historic city of Gyeongju. A life-long comics fan since he picked up a copy of World's Finest #269 in 1981, he would eventually go on to write his Master's thesis on Grant Morrison's Final Crisis and Seven Soldiers of Victory. His interests include mad science, rational shamanism, books that do his head in, and loud music. He is very proud to be a part of Sequart.org, a site he has been visiting regularly since 2007, and without which he probably couldn't have completed his research.
