The buttoned-down University of Oregon English professor who specializes in the literature of the English Renaissance by day is in danger of being eclipsed by his charismatic and seemingly omnipresent alter ego: Ben Saunders, the Comics Guy. “I’ll say, ‘I studied comics in college under a guy named Ben Saunders,’ and they’ll say, ‘Oh!
