Stephen R. Bissette worked a quarter-century in comics
as a cartoonist, writer, editor and publisher, winning many industry
awards. Best-known for Saga of the Swamp Thing, Taboo, '1963,' Tyrant,
and for co-creating the character of John Constantine, his comics
efforts fuelled many films, (CONSTANTINE, FROM HELL, TMNT II : SECRET OF
THE OOZE, etc.) and he completed the world's second '24-Hour Comic,'
invented by Scott McCloud as a challenge for Bissette. He most
recently created (with his son Daniel) a comic with a key onscreen
role in Lance Weiler’s feature HEAD TRAUMA (2006). Bissette has
illustrated books (by Joe Citro, Neil Gaiman, Joe Lansdale,
Christopher Golden, Nancy Collins, etc.) while forging a writing
career in fiction (short stories & the Stoker Award-winning novella
Aliens: Tribes) and non-fiction (co-authoring Comic Book Rebels, The
Monster Book: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and solo-authoring
articles/essays for many books and magazines on cinema).
