Inspired by Dr. Seuss books at age three, Zapcic later became interested in comic books of all variety and acquired an extensive knowledge in that area.[2] After going to culinary school and working as a cook,[3][4] he was hired by Walt Flanagan to work in Kevin Smith's comic book store Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank, New Jersey.
When the podcast Tell 'Em Steve-Dave!—hosted by: Bryan Johnson, Walt Flanagan, and Brian Quinn—spawned the television reality show Comic Book Men in 2012, Mike Zapcic became a main cast member.
In 2014 he started a podcast of his own together with his partner and colleague Ming Chen.[5] The weekly show I Sell Comics is hosted on the SModcast Podcast Network and deals with news and developments in the comic book world, as well as general topics.
Subsequently, Chen and Zapcic opened a podcast studio named A Shared Universe PodcaStudio in Eatontown, New Jersey.[6]
Zapcic lives with his wife Julia and their two sons in Long Branch, New Jersey.[2]
