Who is this ruggedly handsome Gentleman named Martin?

Martin Boruta has been an avid reader of comic books and graphic novels for over 50 years (he enjoys books without pictures too, just so you know). A lifelong fan of Captain Canuck, Martin curates The Unofficial Yet Definitive Captain Canuck Comicography website. Since 2016, Martin has been reviewing comic books and showcasing exceptional new Kickstarter projects at First Comics News. Additionally, his writing has been featured in Sequential Magazine.

For more than two hundred episodes, Martin co-hosted The Hey Kids Comics Radio Show with his friends, broadcasting on Trent Radio 92.7 CFFF FM in beautiful Peterborough, ON, Canada. The show remains available on The Hey Kids Comics Radio Show website. Martin took on the role of Associate Editor at G-Man Comics, contributing to the production of their entire lineup. Martin is also a founding member of the Canadian Comic Book Alliance. Throughout his various endeavours, Martin has consistently demonstrated a remarkable knack for misspelling “Erik Larsen.”

Martin’s “day job” is owner of Shaw Computer Systems Inc., an Information Technology consultancy firm in Peterborough, ON, specializing in providing Managed Services for small to mid-sized businesses since 1980.

In the past, Martin served in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve as a member of the Cadet Instructors List (Cadre), reaching the Queen’s Commissioned rank of Captain, was awarded a Baronship of Sealand, and was ordained as a Reverend in the Universal Life Church while watching an episode of Monster Garage.

When responding to someone who seems to be saying something particularly illogical or uninformed, it’s best to approach the situation with patience and try to clarify their point, offering factual information or a different perspective rather than directly calling them “stupid.”
