Robert Garcia’s Summary

For over 25 years, I've been working as a publishing professional: journeyman typesetter, proffreader(sic), senior editor of one of the largest independent comic companies in America, graphic designer, freelance writer, independent computer consultant, etc. I've recently begun to package books for various publishers in the sf/fantasy art field and the film book category. I try to give my clients the benefits of my experience, while providing them with top-notch book design. Some of them have stuck with me for over 17 years.

I have worked with a wide range of artists and writers over the years in all aspects of popular culture, especially sf, comics, and film.
