Robert J. ("Bob") Sodaro is an American born writer, editor, and digital graphic artist, who is perhaps best known for writing for numerous publications in the comicbook industry press during the '80s & '90s. It was during this time that he was perhaps one of the most prolific journalists in the field of comics, contributing to virtually every comic-related magazine in the industry -- from Amazing Heroes to Wizard -- as well as writing marketing and PR material for several of the comicbook companies themselves (including Marvel, DC, Image, Valiant, Dark Horse, and others).
Currently he writes fiction in the form of short stories which has been published by several independent comicbook publishers, including Main Enterprises, Free Lunch Comics, Atlas Unleashed, and others. He is the creator of two intellectual comicbook properties, Agent Unknown (Renegade Press, Comicbook Artists Guild) and Wülf Girlz (Guild Works Production, Atlas Unleashed).
Continuing with his non-fiction work Sodaro currently writes articles and reviews for Examiner.com on the topics of comicbooks and films, and AllVoices.com (films) as well is a regular contributor to the Official Index to the Marvel Universe, and Spiderfan.org. He is the author of two books; Kiddie Meal Collectibles (Krause Books; about fast food toys and collectibles), and Trivia Mania: Commercials & Ads (Zebra Books -- under the name Xavier Einstein), as well as a long-time contributor and editor to the Comic Values Annual series of comicbook price guides.
