About The Author

Fred Van Lente

Fred Van Lente

Fred Van Lente is a six-time New York Times bestselling comics writer, novelist, and playwright whose work spans mystery/thrillers, historical fiction, superheroes, and comedy. Van Lente burst onto the scene with his first collaboration with cartoonist Ryan Dunlavey, Action Philosophers, which became a YALSA Best Book for Teens and was called “intensely goofy but intellectually rigorous” by the NYT.

From there, he went on to a long career at Marvel, where he worked on titles like The Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America, and Marvel Zombies. He’s also written for DC, Archie Comics, Dark Horse, Boom! Studios, Dynamite Comics, and Valiant, where his run on Archer & Armstrong was nominated for a Harvey Award for Best Continuing Series.

Van Lente has continued writing non-fiction graphic novels, often with his artistic collaborator Ryan Dunlavey, including the bestselling Comic Book History of Comics and the middle-grade series Action Presidents. Two entries in the series were nominated for the Excellence in Graphic Literature Awards. In 2021, the third volume won the Theodore Roosevelt Association’s Theodore Roosevelt Children’s Book Prize.

Crystal Skillman

Crystal Skillman is an award-winning playwright and comics writer whose work spans theater, graphic novels, and digital comics. She co-writes Eat Fighter with Fred Van Lente, bringing sharp character work and genre-savvy storytelling to the series.

Fernando Pinto

Fernando Pinto is a Kubert School graduate and has loved comics forever. He has worked on comics for Image, Webtoon, Mirage Comics, Boom/Archaia, SLG, SBI, Scout, and Invader, among others. He’s also drawn many Kickstarter projects in the last few years, including Mechaton, Long Ago and Far Away, Rise of the Kung Fu Dragon Master, and Mitch Hammer: Construction Mutant. He has also created, written, and drawn the books Warped!, Sam’s Big Chance, and his current graphic novel project, Gunpunch.

Aside from his comics work, he teaches illustration in his native Santiago, Chile, where he’s helping bring up new generations of artists who will hopefully become very successful and eventually hire him.
