About The Authors

Chris Condon is the low-down dirty scoundrel behind the ongoing Image Comic series That Texas Blood and its acclaimed Wild West spinoff, The Enfield Gang Massacre, both with artist Jacob Phillips. He waded deep into bayou waters to adapt Barry Gifford's Night People for Oni Press and has not been the same since.

Greg Pak (rhymes with “rock”) is an award-winning Korean American writer and director best known for writing over 600 comic books, including series like Planet Hulk, Darth Vader, Mech Cadet Yu, and Ronin Island and Sam Wilson: Captain America (with Evan Narcisse) for Marvel and Lawful for BOOM. His non-comics work includes the feature film Robot Stories, the children’s book The Princess Who Saved Herself, the illustrated poetry book I Belong to You / Motherland, and the how-to book/memoirs Cooking Will Break Your Heart and 35mm Love Letter.

J. Holtham is an American screenwriter, best known for his work on TV shows such as Cloak and Dagger, Jessica Jones, and Supergirl. He recently broke into Marvel Comics with Bishop- War College, and is bringing back fan favorite nineties character, Night Thrasher, for his first solo series in 30 years.
