Biography

Garth Ennis, a critically acclaimed writer from Northern Ireland, is most easily recognized as the creator of PREACHER from DC/Vertigo, as well as a long-time contributor to HELLBLAZER and Marvel Comics' THE PUNISHER. In his 20 years of contributions to the comic book industry, he has also worked on THE PRO, THE BOYS, JUDGE DREDD, and GHOST RIDER, to name a few. His previous comic book work published by Avatar Press includes DICKS, 303, CHRONICLES OF WORMWOOD, STREETS OF GLORY, and the increasingly popular CROSSED franchise, a horror survival series set in a world overrun by sadistic homicidal maniacs. In 2011, Ennis realized a creative dream by writing and directing his first short film, the horror/war story STITCHED, which will spin-off into an ongoing Avatar Press comic book series in November 2011.
