About the Author
Mark London’s central focus is to provide a compelling experience through action-driven storytelling and immense world building. Everything he does at Mad Cave is the result of a commitment he made to his amazing wife to pursue his passion and follow his dreams. Always read the best comics first.
A former crime reporter turned Ringo Award-winning comic book creator, David Pepose has written titles such as SAVAGE AVENGERS, FANTASTIC FOUR, HULK, AVENGERS UNLIMITED, DARTH VADER: BLACK, WHITE & RED, SPENCER & LOCKE, GOING TO THE CHAPEL, THE O.Z., SCOUT'S HONOR, and much more. Raised in St. Louis, David now lives in sunny Los Angeles with his understanding partner, their rambunctious terrier, and at least six deadlines.
Richard Ashley Hamilton is a Cuban-American (no, really) writer best known for his storytelling across DreamWorks Animation’s How To Train Your Dragon and Guillermo Del Toro’s Tales of Arcadia franchises. He wrote on the Daytime Emmy-winning first season of Dragons: Race to the Edge and scripted the Lumiere award-winning How To Train Your Dragon: Hidden World Tour VR experience. But in his heart, Richard remains a lifelong comic book fan. He currently writes a YA graphic novel series, Scoop, for Mad Cave Studios/Maverick, and his middle-grade horror title, Fearbook Club, was named a 2022 Junior Library Guild Official Selection. Richard lives in Glendale, CA, with his wife, their two sons, and a Husky named Lulu.
