Neil Welch

Neil is a tax accountant, geek and the first ever contributor to Harriet's site. He loves all comics. Starting with Dandy and Beano then discovering super-heroes as he got a little older until his heart was lost to them. That love affair continues, it's his passion. A movie fan since childhood, he counts himself lucky to live in an era of first-class super-hero movies but he will watch pretty much anything. He has lived on the Isle of Wight for most of his life, is married, and has two adult children. When he’s not doing tax returns he reads a lot (with and without pictures!), writes stories and plays, goes to the cinema, draws and paints a bit, listens to and writes music.
