Critic, columnist, writer, blogger, Eric Alfred Burns is best known for his website, Websnark and also as the writer of the webcomic Gossamer Commons. Born and raised in Fort Kent, Maine, Burns identifies himself as a New Critic, although one can say he’s not a close reader of the works he is critiquing. Anyhow, Websnark is now a damn popular website, which manages to build an audience that ultimately reached the mid five figures daily. With a little bit of sarcasm and focusing on positive examples rather on unfortunated ones, Eric A. Burns also sees in Websnark an outlet for commentaries on philosophy and popular culture, although webcomics remain what the site is best known for.
On the other hand, american blogger has also archivist tendencies. He once was the proponent of using Wikipedia as a tool for centralizing information about webcomics. Burns ultimately suggested the creation of Comixpedia’s Webcomics Wiki. In 2005, Eric launched an artwork gag-a-day photo comic, The Adventures of Brigadier General John Stark, about the hero of the battle of Bennington (1777), and also became an editor for the webcomics collective Modern Tales, working with their free website untill august ‘05.
