About the Author

Born in Hueytown, Alabama, Mark Waid has earned his living as a lounge singer, a magician, a disc jockey, an accountant, and in many other ways, but none of them as eclectic--or fun--as writing comic books. Waid has written for every major comics publisher, including DC, Marvel Comics, Archie Comics (where he served briefly as their cover-gag editor), Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics, and BOOM! Studios. His credits include Daredevil, X-Men, The Flash, JLA, Ruse, Fantastic Four, the bestseller Kingdom Come, and his creator-owned series Empire.
