Author Information

Doug Mahnke embarked on a love affair with comics at the age of five, having received a pile of Spider-Man issues from a rugby-playing college student named Mike who lived in his basement. A consistent interest in the medium, coupled with some art skill, landed Mahnke a job drawing comics for Dark Horse at the age of 24. His first gig was illustrating a moody detective one-shot entitled Homicide, written by John Arcudi. The two went on to collaborate on Dark Horse's The Mask and their creator-owned series MAJOR BUMMER, originally published by DC. Since then Mahnke has worked almost exclusively for DC on a wide variety of titles, including SUPERMAN- THE MAN OF STEEL, JLA, JUSTICE LEAGUE, BATMAN, TEAM ZERO, SEVEN SOLDIERS- FRANKENSTEIN, BLACK ADAM- THE DARK AGE, STORMWATCH- P.H.D., FINAL CRISIS, GREEN LANTERN, SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN, SUPERMAN and DETECTIVE COMICS.
