Early Life
Bryan Hitch began reading comics at an early age, likening them to his "underage drug habit", and the newsagent in Northern England where he would buy his books his "dealer". The newsagent was next door to a cinema, and as Hitch explains, he could go straight from enjoying Christopher Reeve Superman films and other genre films to the store to buy Superman comics drawn by artists such as Curt Swan and José Luis García-López.
