Brian K. Vaughan is the Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated (read: award-losing) co-creator of many critically acclaimed comic books, including Y: THE LAST MAN, EX MACHINA and Runaways. A professional comics writer since his days as an undergraduate film student at New York University, Brian has written every major DC and Marvel character from BATMAN to X-MEN. He's also written several screenplays, stage plays, and short stories, but mostly, he likes to work on the funny books. Brian was born in 1976 in Cleveland, Ohio, the Home of Rock. He currently resides in San Diego, having followed his new bride out to her gradschool program in California on a Yorick-like cross-country trek. He hates it there, and looks forward to returning to his adopted home of Brooklyn.
