This slope-shouldered industry veteran was a long-running writer on DC's Legion of Super-Heroes, a founding editor at their Vertigo imprint, and the proud writer of their worst-selling, award-losing series Hourman.

Today he happily writes and edits AHOY Comics from his Ditkoesque office in Downtown Syracuse, NY.
