I have always been fascinated by the way people tell stories. Whether it's in comics, movies, or songs, it amazes me the way that people can make it all work. I’m happy to say I finally wrote a story of my own and it feels great to join a community of people who are doing the same thing. I'm excited about my opportunity to read other independent creator's work.

Jon Velez
My name is Jon Velez the owner/manager of Encased Comics. I started Encased Comics with the sole purpose of selling graded comics, but the focus has shifted as I wanted to do more for indie and small press comic creators. I am originally from New Jersey but have now made San Diego, CA my home. I am married and have two rescue dogs named Buddy and Phillip. When I am not doing things for Encased Comics, I am working on my doctorate degree in Higher Education and work for a medical school. I am hoping for the day to open a small brink and mortar to showcase creators' work and connect collectors to their graded comics. I enjoy photography, poetry writing, short story writing, and computer report. My favorite heroes are Batman and The Flash, but as I read more non-mainstream comics I am sure to add more favorites to the list. My favorite villains are The Joker and Reverse-Flash, which I would love the chance to write a screenplay focusing on Reverse-Flash origins as not all villains start out as one.
