Early Life
Matt Fraction was born Matt Fritchman on December 1, 1975 in Chicago Heights, Illinois. Fraction developed an affinity for telling stories as a child, and enjoyed reading both comic books and comic strips. The first comic he remembers buying was Batman #316. Comic strips he enjoyed included Peanuts and Doonesbury. He became a regular, weekly comic reader around the time that the 1985-86 DC Comics storyline Crisis on Infinite Earths ended, though he found that storyline too bizarre and impenetrable to a new reader, and as a result, gravitated toward Marvel Comics, finding Spider-Man to be his favorite, along with other books such as Star Wars and G.I. Joe.

“Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”
