Short biography
"According to interview, John Benson was born in Evanston, Illinois in December, 1940.... His family relocated to Pennsylvania almost immediately, and John spent most of his childhood and teen years on the East Coast."
"Benson’s career as a prolific comics editor and anthologist dates from 1956. Since then, he has contributed to The Comics Journal, Graphic Story Magazine, Hoohah!, and Ron Goulart’s Encylcopedia of American Comics. More recently, Benson edited two books on romance comics, and his anthology, The Sincerest Form of Parody, a collection of stories from Mad-imitators of the 1950s, has just been released."
