Shirow Masamune

    Masamune Shirow (士郎 正宗 Shirō Masamune?) is an internationally renowned manga artist, born on November 23, 1961.

    Masamune Shirow is a pen name, based on a famous swordsmith, Masamune. He is best known for the manga Ghost in the Shell, which has since been turned into two theatrical anime movies, two anime TV series, an anime TV movie, and several video games. Shirow is also known for creating erotic art.

    Born in the Hyōgo Prefecture capital city of Kobe, he studied oil painting at Osaka University of Arts. While in college, he developed an interest in manga, which led him to create his own complete work, Black Magic, which was published in the manga fanzine Atlas. His work caught the eye of Seishinsha President Harumichi Aoki, who offered to publish him.

    The result was Appleseed, a full volume of densely-plotted drama taking place in an ambiguous future. The story was a sensation, and won the 1986 Seiun Award for Best Manga. After a professional reprint of Black Magic and a second volume of Appleseed, he released Dominion in 1986. Two more volumes of Appleseed followed before he began work on Ghost in the Shell.

    In 2007, he collaborated again with Production I.G to co-create the original concept for the anime television series Shinreigari/Ghost Hound, Production I.G's 20th year anniversary project.

    A further original collaboration with Production I.G began airing in April, 2008, titled Real Drive.

Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia

    Born in the scenic though war torn valleys of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir in 1986, Abhimanyu Singh Sisodia's relationship with literature began at an early age. He was introduced to reading through an ingenious device by his mother: she would read him half a story at bedtime, and at the most tantalising cliff-hanger, she'd ask him to finish it himself! Abhimanyu holds multiple degrees in diverse fields, and developed his lifelong passion for words into a serious obsession with Ravana. Besides reading, he also has an intense passion for music, and is a self-confessed adventure seeker. His favourite genre of literature is historical fiction, and he loves fantasy and superhero tales for the sheer scope of endless possibilities that they represent. After completing a professional degree in computer applications, Sachin, a resident of New Delhi, India, used his knowledge of technology to strengthen his artistic skills by also doing a diploma in animation. Citing the great artist Michelangelo as his influence, Sachin is a highly driven artist on a quest to excel. His work figures notably in The Call of the Wild, available now from Campfire Image.

Joe Gill

    Joseph P. Gill (July 13, 1919 - December 17, 2006) was an American magazine writer and highly prolific comic book scripter. Most of his work was for Charlton Comics Image, where he co-created the superheroes Captain Atom, Peacemaker, and Judomaster, among others. Comics historians consider Gill a top contender as the comic-book field's most prolific writer. Per historian and columnist Mark Evanier, Gill "wrote a staggering number of comics. There are a half-dozen guys in his category. If someone came back and said he was the most prolific ever, no one would be surprised."
