About Von Allan: Von Allan was
born red-headed and freckled in Arnprior, Ontario, just in time for Star Wars: A New Hope. The single child of two loving but troubled
parents, Von split most of his childhood between their two homes and,
consequently, spent a lot of time in the worlds of comics and wrestling. He managed Perfect Books, an independent
bookstore in Ottawa, for many years while working on story ideas in his spare
time; eventually, he decided to make the leap to a creative life, and the
road to god knows… was the result.
