, and hundreds of other outlets have interviewed him on psychology, heroism, and popular culture.
At fan conventions such as San Diego Comic-Con, WonderCon, New York Comic Con, GalaxyCon, and Fan Expo events such as MegaCon, he regularly conducts panels on a range of topics including psychology, media, and heroism. Panelists include comics scholars such as Will Brooker, [12] Peter Coogan, [13] and Bat-Films executive producer Michael Uslan.

He has also moderated convention sessions for celebrities such as Amy Acker, [63] Sean Astin , Scott Bakula, [64] Billy Boyd, [65] Dean Cain, [66] [67] Emma Caulfield, [68] Kevin Conroy, [69] [70] Grey DeLisle, [71] Robert Englund, [72] Jason David Frank, [73] [74] Christian Kane, [75] Evanna Lynch, [76] Kevin Sorbo, [77] Sir Patrick Stewart, [78] George Wendt, [79] Billy West , Henry Winkler.

His mother read comic books to him, which motivated him to learn to read. Looking through his baby book, his father saw that one of Travis's earliest words really was "Batman."
Travis and his wife, Rebecca, met during their college freshman year. She is a therapist. Their older son, Alex Langley, also teaches psychology. [81] Alex has authored five books and a graphic novel; co-authored 100 Greatest Graphic Novels: The Good, the Bad, the Epic; and co-edited Spider-Man Psychology: Untangling Webs. [82] Their younger son, Nicholas, teaches university art classes and has previously illustrated three books, created art for a graphic novel, and written and drawn the official Dig Dug webcomic.

While wikis are tricky, they're still valuable sources for helping find back issues and a great starting point for discovering additional resources, so we must thank the many volunteers who, often anonymously, edit.... Wikipedia's WikiProject Comics helped the hunt in ways they may never know.
