Meet the Creators!

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.
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.

SNEAK PEEK!
