Sean Aune has been a pop culture aficionado since before there was even a term for pop culture. From the time his father brought home Amazing Spider-Man issue 156 from Circle K, he was hooked. His passion for nerd culture led to him opening his own comic book store in 1986 which he ran up until the time he joined TechnoBuffalo in 2009. He also spent time in the 1990s working for magazines such as Wizard, Combo, and Beckett's Hot Toys, as well as consulting on numerous toy price guides.
