DarkMarkhide bio
Author has written 32 stories for DC Superheroes, Misc. Comics, Batman, Legion of Super Heroes, X-Men, Sandman, Superman, Marvel, Buffy X-overs, LXG, Gen13, Peanuts, Misc. Games, Spawn, and Supergirl. I write a lot about the old DC Universe, though I refuse to be confined to any single company or character. I'm probably most famous for my stories about Supergirl, but I've written about everyone from the Watchmen to Angela to Batman and the Outsiders, and everything in between. Since I'm a generation or so older than the average ficter, I'm familiar with a large range of characters from the Golden and Silver Ages. That means I can write about a lot more than mutants...and I'm quite happy for everyone else to handle them! |
