About Joshua Dysart
Joshua Dysart is the sweet, imaginative, hilarious and talented writer who helped to create the Avril Lavigne’s Make 5 Wishes series for us. He lives without weather in Los Angeles and comes up to visit us in Vancouver every once in a while. The biography below is taken directly from his website - joshuadysart.com. Check out his other stories, he’s done a ton of great work and I know that his best writing is yet to come.
…co-created and wrote the cult hit comic book series Violent Messiahs in 1997. The first eight issues were collected in the graphic novel, Violent Messiahs Vol. I: Book of Job in 2002.
Since then he has done work for virtually every major comic book publisher, including DC, Vertigo, Dark Horse, Image, IDW and Penny Farthing Press.
He did a two year stint as the monthly writer of the legendary Swamp Thing and has also worked on such juggernauts of our mainstream pulp consciousness as Conan and Hellboy.
He wrote the comic book adaptation of the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for Art Asylum, authored the one-shot Van Helsing: Beneath the Rue Morgue (an original story featuring the character from the Universal film) and penned Skull & Bones: A Monster House Story, which was tied into the Sony animated children’s film. He’s also had his comic books included in the packaging for both The Age Of Conan mmo computer game from Funcom and the Hellboy platform game from Konami.
He has written a two volume 270 page graphic novel for Avril Lavigne entitled Make 5 Wishes published by Del Rey Manga/Random House which has been printed in over seven languages as well as digitally distributed throughout Asia.
He has been fortunate enough to have collaborated with amazing masters in the industry such as Mike Mignola, Richard Corben, John Totleben and Eric Powell.
He currently lives by the beach. He loves his mother. He’s trying to learn how to hold himself in the palm of his own hand, but has yet to figure it out. I think he’s afraid, and that’s what’s holding him back. He really digs smashing words together for a living. He recommends it over almost all other forms of slavery.
He has yet to learn how to play Jazz on any instrument.
