Michael Moreci
Michael Moreci is a screenwriter and bestselling comics author. His award-winning debut feature film, Revealer, premiered on Shudder in the summer of 2022. He was recently hired by Paper Street Pictures to write the suspense thriller Come Find Me, and he recently completed directing his first feature film, from a screenplay he co-wrote. In the comics space, Michael is the creator of the acclaimed gothic horror series The Plot, the werewolf drama Curse, and the sword-and-sorcery series Barbaric, which Entertainment Weekly, Thrillist, and many others called one of the best comics of the year. He’s also written for numerous legendary characters and properties, including Star Wars, Batman, and Stranger Things.
Acclaimed artist Nathan Gooden is known for co-creating the bestselling comic, Barbaric, as well as his work on Post Malone’s Big Rig, Brandon Sanderson’s Dark One, and Dark Knights of Steel. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland and plays a lot of basketball.
Artist / writer Richard Pace has applied his talents to numerous industries including games and television, but comics remains his greatest love. Hailing from Canada, Richard has contributed to Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham (DC), Pitt (Image), New Warriors (Marvel), and Imaginary Fiends (Vertigo). Currently, he is working on Barbaric for Vault Comics.
Addison Duke is an illustrator and a comics colorist based in Chicago, IL. After graduating with a BFA in illustration from Academy of Art University, Addison began his professional career working as a Production Artist at Image Comics. Today, he continues to cultivate his professional freelance comic coloring, illustration, and fine art working both with digital and traditional mediums.
Jim Campbell is a twice-Eisner-nominated comic-book letterer, one-time writer (perhaps again in the future!) and occasional artist (although his enthusiasm rather outstrips his actual ability). He knows more about print production than mortal man was meant to know and has also scanned more images than you’ve had hot dinners. Unless you’re ninety years old. Hometown: Nottingham, United Kingdom.
