Walter Milton Dean Myers [b. August 12, 1937] was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia. His mother died when he was three years old. So he moved to New York City's Harlem, to live with his father's first, recently remarried wife. Myers wrote about his Harlem years in 'Bad Boy: a Memor'. One such formative experience was due to the intervention of a Ms. Dodson, whom the neighborhood called 'the Wicked Witch of West Harlem'. At the time of their acquaintance, Myers was an avid comic book reader. That zeal nevertheless was nipped in the bud when Dodson described comic books as the 'how to get to jail'.
