Steven Grant

Part of the mid-70's CPL fanzine scene that included the likes of John Byrne, Bob Layton, and Roger Stern among others, Steven Grant entered the field professionally around 1978 with work for the Warren Magazines and Marvel, and has since become one of comics' best writers with an impressive range of work from a variety of publishers.

That range includes titles such as Whisper (Capital/First), Badlands (Dark Horse), Grifter (Wildstorm), Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (DC), and X-Man (Marvel) among others. Grant's collaboration with artist Mike Zeck on the original Punisher mini-series became a pivotal work for Marvel and was an important part of the mid-80's comics renaissance which included works such as Miller's Dark Knight, Moore and Gibbons' Watchmen, and Grell's Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters.

With Avatar Press, Grant has created and written the crime/horror comic saga Mortal Souls, is contributing the sequential adaptation on Frank Miller's Robocop, and has another upcoming project called My Flesh is Cool beginning in December 2003.

Steven Grant's My Flesh is Cool interior art & essay  

Big update in the Steven Grant's My Flesh is Cool section today -- a sampling of the powerful, moody interior artwork of Sebastian Fiumara, plus an essay from Grant about the development of the series. A sampling:

I'm not sure how far back to trace the evolution of MY FLESH IS COOL. Certainly it goes back at least as far as 1978, when I heard the British rock band Ultravox sing "Artificial Life," containing the following verse:

"So we drink and sink and talk and stalk
with interchangeable enemies and friends
trying on each other's skins
while we dying to be born again"


That image always stuck with me. The band used it metaphorically; I made the jump to a literal interpretation. That's the "line between the dots" thing I was talking about. It took years, but the idea slowly formed and festered in my head and became something else: what if you could jump into someone else's body, do whatever you wanted, then leave without a trace and without any risk of blame or punishment for what you did there, because no one would ever know it was you and not the person whose body you wore? (...more in the My Flesh is Cool section)
