Today, David Pepose stops by to talk about building up the courage to start a comic writing career, and why he's super excited to bring Space Ghost to a new generation of comic fans.


A former crime reporter turned Ringo Award-winning comic book creator, David Pepose has written on hit titles such as Punisher (https://www.davidpepose.com/punisher) , Moon Knight: City of the Dead (https://www.davidpepose.com/moon-knig...) , Savage Avengers (https://www.davidpepose.com/savage-av...) , Fantastic Four (https://www.davidpepose.com/fantastic...) , Hulk (https://www.davidpepose.com/hulk-annual/) , Avengers Unlimited (https://www.davidpepose.com/avengers-...) , and Darth Vader: Black, White & Red (https://www.davidpepose.com/marvel-bl...) , as well as launched critically acclaimed original series including Spencer & Locke (https://www.davidpepose.com/spencer-a...) , Going to the Chapel (https://www.davidpepose.com/going-to-...) , Grand Theft Astro (https://www.davidpepose.com/grand-the...) , The O.Z. (https://www.davidpepose.com/the-oz/) , Scout’s Honor (https://www.davidpepose.com/scouts-ho...) , The Devil That Wears My Face (https://www.davidpepose.com/the-devil...) , and more.


David’s books have been featured in The Hollywood Reporter, ComicBook.com, and io9, and have ranked on Barnes & Noble’s Best Comics and Graphic Novels list. His writing has been called “stunningly subversive” by IGN and “an absurdly good time” by Nerdist, while Syfy has described his work as “utterly insane or pure genius (or admittedly, maybe both).”


In addition to developing properties for comics, TV, and film, he has also worked for CBS, Netflix, and Universal Studios. Raised in St. Louis, David currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, where he lives with his understanding partner, their rambunctious terrier, and at least six deadlines.
