DC Comics

Matt Wagner has enjoyed a career in comics for over twenty years. Born and educated in Pennsylvania, his first published work was a short story that would introduce one of comicdom's most respected creator-owned characters--the mastermind assassin, Grendel. Best known for this epic creation and his other, more personal, allegory, Mage, Matt has also worked on a variety of established characters. These include his ground-breaking work on the character of Batman villain, Two-Face, in the graphic novel, FACES, as well as a five-year stint spent developing and generating the stories for the fan-favorite Vertigo title, Sandman Mystery Theatre. His more recent efforts in this vein have included writing the Dr. Mid-Nite mini-series for DC Comics and serving as the regular cover artist on the Kevin Smith-penned re-launch of Green Arrow.

Known for his character-driven stories and his obvious love of the world's mythologies, Matt has also enjoyed the distinction of being one of the only writer/artists allowed to team his own creation with one of DC's flagship characters in two successive Batman/Grendel cross-overs.

Additionally, Matt has recently completed work on his most highly visible storyline ever for DC, a three-issue prestige series starring Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman; titled Trinity. He is currently at work on an even more ambitious, year-long, project that chronicles some of the earliest aspects of Batman’s career; Dark Moon Rising.
