About Me

A one-time cartoonist, Ed Brubaker has been working as a writer since the early 90s, and in that time his work has won several awards and been translated into eleven languages around the world. He primarily works in comics, but has also written screenplays and someday would like to finish a novel, since he's got so many started.He currently resides in Seattle, Washington with his wife, Melanie, and three lovely pets.And please please please don't send me your story ideas. Even if I wanted to, I cannot read them. It's a legal thing, because I make a living as a fiction writer. I can't read unpublished submissions by total strangers... um, I mean, friends on myspace.And no, I can't get you in at Marvel...I'm sorry. Try Bendis.

My Interests

Crime fiction and non-fiction, comics, various media like film and television, bad news.

I'd like to meet:
