His first exposure to the 'moving picture' was in 1978 with the first ''Superman'' film. In 1980, when his family obtained a television, he was exposed to a range of televised superhero material from ''Shazam!'' to ''Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends'' to ''Super Friends'' to ''The Incredible Hulk'' and ''Batman''. About a month after this, when he was five years old, Gallaher acquired his first comic book, ''Power Man and Iron Fist''. When he was about 7 his mother bought a book for Gallaher and his brothers called ''Draw The Superfriends'', or words to that effect, over whose designs the brothers would trace the characters.〔Lien-Cooper, Barb. ("Shadow Man: David Gallaher" ). Sequential Tart. Retrieved September 30, 2015.〕 During Boy Scout summer camp in '88, Gallaher rediscovered comics and became an avid reader of ''Captain America'', ''Fantastic Four'', ''West Coast Avengers'', and ''Speedball''. Gallaher cites John Byrne's "Vision Quest" storyline in ''West Coast Avengers'' as the first compelling serial story that affected him significantly. As Gallaher began to evolve a preference for following certain creators over following characters, he became a fan of Byrne's, following him on books such as ''Namor''.〔 Gallaher studied at Hood College in Maryland, double-majoring in both Special Education and Psychology. Approximately in his junior year, he realized that much as he loved teaching, he felt a creative drive, and on a whim, applied to Goddard College, having learned that David Mamet, William H. Macy, and Piers Anthony studied there. Finding that he could create his own major and that the school would cater to it, he majored in Comics, and also taught a comics class to seniors and juniors whose required reading including Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Gallaher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
