About Jud Meyers
Jud Meyers began his career in the comic industry behind the scenes at Titan Publishing in London, England before making the jump into the retail sector. From 1989 through 1994, Meyers spent all of his time abroad managing and assisting in the launching of the most prestigious comic book retail stores in the UK, including Forbidden Planet, Virgin Megastore and Meanwhile Comics. In 1994, Meyers moved back to New York City and took a position at Avalanche Of Wonder, one of the world's largest international comic book mail-order services. While at Avalanche, Meyers helped develop systems for their move from a warehouse mail-order service to true online overstock placement.
Arriving in Los Angeles in 1997, Meyers launched Krypton Collectibles, his own website shipping service. For the next six years, he bought, sold and shipped bulk collections of vintage books and collectibles through his online portal, growing from a small storage facility to bustling warehouse systems. In 2003, Meyers co-founded his first brick and mortar location in Sherman Oaks, California. In just over four years, Earth-2 Comics became the youngest store to ever receive the Will Eisner Spirit of Retailing Award, the most prestigious and sought after lifetime achievement award in the comic book industry. In 2009, Earth-2 formed a partnership with Geoff Johns and purchased the legendary San Fernando Valley Golden Apple Comics store, turning it into another successful Earth-2 Comics location. After his successful term with Earth-2 ended, Meyers opened Blastoff with his partner, Scott Tipton.
