About Mike and Peter

Mike Carey is a British writer whose work spans comics, novels, film scripts, and TV shows. After writing shorts for British sci-fi comic 2000 AD and a few one-shots for Caliber Comics during the 1990s, he was offered DC/Vertigo’s Lucifer — henceforth the longest running and most successful Sandman-related spinoff to date. While continuing to work with DC on Vertigo series like Crossing Midnight and graphic novels like God Save The Queen, he took over as lead writer for Marvel’s X-Men (now X-Men: Legacy) in 2006.

His work includes DC/Vertigo’s Hellblazer, Marvel’s Ultimate Fantastic Four, the Felix Castor novels, The Steel Seraglio (with Linda and Louise Carey), and DC/Vertigo’s The Unwritten (with Peter Gross).

Peter Gross is a U.S. artist and writer who lives in Minnesota, where as a 29-year-old Duluth resident, he helped launch a publishing company, Northern Lights. After self-publishing a comic called Empire Lanes, he began drawing and eventually writing DC/Vertigo’s The Books of Magic, a series that ran from 1994 to 2000. In 1999 he collaborated with Mike on DC/Vertigo’s Lucifer, going on to draw most of that series’ 75 issues.

His work includes Dark Horse’s Chosen (with Mark Millar), DC/Vertigo’s Fables (with Bill Willingham), and DC/Vertigo’s The Unwritten (with Mike Carey).
