Co-writer, Dave Justus (He/Him)
Dave Justus bought his first comic book — a Robotech adaptation — at age nine, and that’s when he decided he wanted to grow up to write them. Isn’t that sad? He made his professional debut on House Of Mystery’s unique “exquisite corpse” issue for Vertigo in 2010, and helped lower the beloved DC imprint into its grave via series like Fables: The Wolf Among Us and Everafter: From The Pages Of Fables. He and frequent co-writer Lilah Sturges created their Ignatz Award-nominated series Public Relations for 1First Comics in 2015.
Co-writer, Lilah Sturges (She/Her)
Lilah Sturges is the Eisner-, Hugo-, and GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer of everything from Lumberjanes to Blue Beetle to The Magicians to Dune: The Official Movie Graphic Novel. With Dave Justus she’s written Everafter: From the Pages of Fables, and Public Relations. She loved college but her GPA was nothing to write home about. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her wife and a three-legged cat named Greg.
Artist, Joe Eisma (He/Him)
Joe Eisma is the Eisner nominated artist & co-creator of the New York Times Bestseller, Morning Glories, from Image Comics. In addition, he has drawn Star Trek from IDW Publishing, Archie, Riverdale and Jughead: The Hunger from Archie Comics, The Flash from DC Comics, and many more over the years. He resides in Dallas, Texas with his wife and sons.
Student Government is now available for pre-order on the official Maverick website, and will be available at your favorite bookstore, local comic shop, and digital comic reader on March 11th, 2025!
