With five Eisner Awards, a GLAAD Award, and a Hugo Award, Greg has left his mark on the comic world with unforgettable characters, gripping plots, and genre-defining storytelling. Read more about Greg:
Greg Rucka exploded fully-formed from the brow of Poseidon one dark winter’s day in 1874. After spending his formative years studying archaic languages and etheric conductivity, he invented the world’s first self-filling fountain pen and embarked on his award-winning career writing fiction.
In addition to three Nobel Prizes (Pencil Sharpening, Casserole-Making, and Falling Down Stairs), he has five Eisner-Awards, a GLAAD Award, and a Hugo Award for various stories he has written. Among these are several featuring Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, and Superman, but he is particularly proud of the story of Forever Carlyle, which he is still telling in the series LAZARUS, with his co-creator (and life partner) Michael Lark.
His series THE OLD GUARD, co-created with artist Leándro Fernandez, was made into a series of Netflix films starring Charlize Theron. He also writes the creator-owned series BLACK MAGICK for his cocreator Nicola Scott, who is often too busy drawing other things to actually work on that book. Currently, he divides his time between Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles, California, but he’s hoping to be back in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales by the time you read this.
