One morning, when he was four years old, Cullen Bunn woke up and realized that to be the man, you have to beat the man. From that day forward, he set out to conquer the worlds of comics, prose, gaming, competitive Komodo dragon wrangling, and delivery of joy to well-behaved children worldwide every December 25th. He has written comics such as HARROW COUNTY, THE SIXTH GUN, BONE PARISH, BEYOND MORTAL, THE EMPTY MAN, DEADPOOL KILLS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE, MAGNETO, and UNCANNY X-MEN among many others. His novels include CROOKED HILLS and the upcoming BONES OF OUR STARS, BLOOD OF OUR WORLD. When he's not dreaming about what's next, he's having nightmares of what very well might be. And, yes, he's taking credit for the kindly work of Santa Claus. Visit his website at www.cullenbunn.
