Geek a Week

He sought to meet many geek icons across numerous disciplines, including computing, movies, television, music, and Internet culture, then subsequently creating that person's or group's respective card.

The idea of Geek a Week arose while Len Peralta assisted in helping Trace Beaulieu illustrate his book, Silly Rhymes for Belligerent Children.

[1] Beaulieu uses his own contacts, including fellow Mystery Science Theater 3000 alumni, Kevin Murphy, to make further plans for personalities to meet with Peralta, such as for "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Day, appearing as Chell from the video game Portal, praised Peralta's art, in that "he paired me with just the right thing to make me excited to see myself".

[2] Gaiman, depicted as "The Vault Keeper" akin to Tales from the Crypt, believed his match was very appropriate as "there's probably little that's more iconic than one of the old EC Comics horror hosts".

[2] Early in the project, Peralta has received some requests to actually produce the card set as a physical product, an idea that he kept in mind during the course of the year.
