'''Mark W. Bellomo''' (a.k.a. "Mark Bellomo") fashions a living as an author and wordsmith, penning articles, periodicals and tomes about the industry of toys (or "action figures" to give them the names preferred by their proponents) and various multi-media products (e.g. comic books, video games e.t.c.) related to them. The author first rose to prominence as a contributor to magazines such as "Wizard" and in the form of the creator of "G.I. Joe 1982-1994: Identification and Price Guide", a book that chronicles the breadth of Hasbro's iconic action figure line during the indicated time period. This opus was later succeeded by the [[Unofficial guidebooks#Mark Bellomo Books|"Transformers: Identification and Price Guide"]], which replicated the format of the aforementioned ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' guide, albeit focusing on [[Hasbro]]'s ever-popular line of transforming robot toys.
