Sean Taylor: Warts and All (and dear God, the warts!)


Sean Taylor is a full-time writer of prose, graphic novels and comic books.

He's the writer of Gene Simmons Dominatrix by Simmons Comics Group published by IDW Publishing and has also written for Gene Simmons House of Horrors, also published by IDW. He's also currently writing the upcoming fantasy graphic novel Shan: Be My Hero for VLE Comics, the upcoming miniseries Last Chance School for Girls and Jesse James in the Mayan Underworld for Arcana Comics, and the ongoing title The Veil for Rogue Wolf Entertainment.

He's the former managing editor of Campfire (formerly Elfin) graphic novels, where he oversaw the publication of graphic novels based on classic literature, world literature and historical biographies, as well as original works. For Elfin, he has written the upcoming graphic novel adaptation of H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man and contributed to an upcoming Halloween-themed collection of stories, and he's currently writing an original sequel to The Invisible Man and The Time Machine.

Other projects of note that he's currently working on include Parodox Alley, a tie-in one-shot (featuring Fishnet Angel, Nick Landime, Phantom Jack and Cyberfrog) with the massive War of the Independents indy comic crossover, with his partners in that venture Erik Burnham and Mike Sangiacomo, Quinn: The Reckoning with artist/co-creator Martheus Wade, "Jennifer's Luggage" (a short comics tale) for Image's Negative Burn anthology, Jesus Manson, Agnostic at Large with artist Oliver Tria, Body Dumper with artist Taki Soma, Ace Robinson, Monster Killer for Hire: Turf War with co-creator/artist George Pitcher III, "Sweetly Felt the Dream" (a comics short) for Terminus Media, and a few others that aren't quite ready for public revelation as of yet.


In addition to all that, he's also been a staff writer, managing editor and editorial vice president for iHero Entertainment's Writer’s Digest Grand Prize Zine Award-winning Cyber Age Adventures magazine ("The very first zine award, as a matter of fact," he adds with great pride). He served as book editor and writer for the two iHero trade paperback collections A Private Little Corner of the Universe and Playing Solitaire.

He's also the former editor-in-chief of Shooting Star Comics, where he edited the critically acclaimed Children of the Grave comics series and edited and contributed to the fan favorite Shooting Star Comics Anthology, and was creator and author of the Fishnet Angel: Jane Doe comic book miniseries.

As if he weren't already overworked and exhausted, he's also written and edited for the role-playing game industry as well, having contributed to the DCU Role Playing Game published by West End Games (Gotham City Sourcebook, Titans Sourcebook, and Green Lantern Sourcebook) and having edited the Cyber Age Adventures Role Playing Game.

He's the former editor for the Baptist Men Edition of On Mission magazine and the former associate editor of On Mission magazine, and during his tenure on the magazine's staff, it won an EPA Higher Goals award (a religious publishing version of a Folio, basically). He has won several awards for his periodical work, and has contributed articles and book and music reviews to such national periodical publications as Inside the Lines, Home Life, Church Administration, CCM, CBA Marketplace (formerly Bookstore Journal), and others.

He currently lives in the Atlanta area with his extraordinarily beautiful wife (who puts up with his posing with booth babes and only rolls her eyes at him) and his kids and dogs and cats.

Take a look, it's in a book, a reading rainbow...

I think all of last year I may have read a not so grand total of six books (if that), not taking into account graphic novels. I really hate that, because I've always enjoyed reading, but for some reason just really couldn't get into it last year, so this year, one of my resolutions (though I typically don't like the idea of New Year's promises) has been to read non comics again regularly. So, needless to say, I'm thrilled to have already finished three between Christmas and now.

The release party was a bigger hit than I could have imagined! Everyone had a great time. A professional film crew documented it and we plan to have all the interviews posted soon. Ricky & Bambi's performance of the theme song was excellent! The whole evening was very encouraging.

Thanks for thinking of us. I hope we can hang out at some show again soon. Enjoyed Heroes Con.

Hey man, thanks for the welcome! I was looking for a local comic creator group and ran into this one... good fortune. Not sure if you remember me... we chatted a couple of times at Kyle's and am several conventions. I look to chatting further man... Also, we'll be at connooga so I'll see you there! Thanks again, Will

Sean's the best writer this side of the Gaiman/Dixon line (hehehe) seriously though, it's almost criminal that you're not contracted by DC or Marvel at this point. Some of these Industry dudes need to pony up and smack these Editors around. They could always use me for muscle...when i'm not drawing i'm a Bouncer at the The Ink & Paint Club (noprize if you get the ref)

Saying that I married up is the understatement of the decade. I just fed her enough booze that even I looked good to her!

About

Sean Taylor Sean Taylor created this Ning Network.

FAQ

What is this network?

The Atlanta Comics Creators network is just what it says it is, group of Atlanta-based comics creators who use this online resource to make connections, build peer relationships, and further their comics careers.

Who is invited to join?

All mainstream, indie, or webcomic artists, inkers, writers, colorists, editors, and publishers; animators; and pop art and low brow creators local to the Atlanta area.

What can I do here?

Take part in forums to pick the minds of other creators, mentor and be mentored, develop small groups based on locale for real life connections, show off your work, form creative teams, network into national and international markets based on current members, and more to come, such as chat functions and more.

Why should I take part?

Because working in this industry tends to isolate us more than pull us together. Because you never know who your next boss or co-worker will be. Because making friends among your peers is a good practice. Because somebody worked really hard to try to make this place a useful resource, dang it.

What are "groups"?

"Groups" are ways of hooking up by common interests (such as manga or webcomics), location (North Atlanta or Downtown), job focus (artist, writer, pop art, or animator), or any other criteria that bonds us together in groups of people that can help each other become more effective or just hang out and enjoy each others' company.

Where can I get more info about this network?
