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.

Alberto Ponticelli is fascinated by monsters and uses them to explore the complexities of humanity—finding something painfully wonderful in what hides beneath the surface. Science fiction is his preferred lens for these themes. His recent work includes Orc Island (with Joshua Dysart), Warm Fusion (with Scott Hoffman), Unknown Soldier (with Joshua Dysart, Vertigo/DC Comics), Dark Knight (with Greg Hurwitz, DC Comics), Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E. (with Jeff Lemire, DC Comics), and Goodnight Paradise (with Joshua Dysart, TKO Studios).

Val Hal Halvorson is a comic book creator and horror illustrator who almost never goes outside. He is the artist for the Vault series, Finger Guns, as well as various anthologies such as Dead Beats 2, and Grimm Tales from the Cave. In addition to illustrating, he also likes to write comics and he is not kind to his characters. He wrote and illustrated the short horror comic, Pareidolia, which was featured in Panel x Panel. Junji Ito once reviewed his work positively in a video for Vis Media and he'll never stop telling people about it. In his spare time, he consumes a ton of horror media, bakes a bunch of bread, and won't shut up about 90's FMV games.
