Born and educated in Pennsylvania, his first published work was a short story that would introduce one of comicdom's most respected creator-owned characters--the mastermind assassin, GRENDEL. Best known for this epic creation and his other, more personal, allegory, MAGE, Matt has also worked on a variety of established characters. These include his ground-breaking work on the character of Batman villain, Two-Face, in the graphic novel, FACES, as well as a five-year stint both developing and generating the stories for the fan-favorite Vertigo title, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE. His more recent efforts in this vein have included writing the DR. MID-NITE mini-series for DC Comics and serving as the regular cover artist on the Kevin Smith-penned relaunch of GREEN ARROW. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKnown for his character-driven stories and his obvious love of the world's mythologies, Matt has also enjoyed the distinction of being one of the only writer\/artists allowed to team his own creation with one of DC's flagship characters in two successive BATMAN\/GRENDEL cross-overs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the past few years, Matt has also written and drawn several high profile projects for DC; a three-issue prestige series starring Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman; titled TRINITY and a year-long, project which comprised two mini-series that chronicled some of the earliest aspects of Batman's career, collectively titled DARK MOON RISING.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dark Horse Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50895636988178,"sku":"9781506735955","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_418ff4b0-7a6b-4f6a-b2f8-e285b2764206.jpg?v=1738274605","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/dracula-book-1-the-impaler-9781506735955","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
