The Resume

    (January 1, 1960- )
    Created the comic book series 'The Crow'
    Credited as a writer for 'The Crow,' 'The Crow: City of Angels,' 'The Crow: Stairway To Heaven,' 'The Crow: Salvation' and 'The Crow: Wicked Player'

Why he might be annoying:

    His reason for joining the Marines was to get 'structure' in his life after his fiancees death.
    Although his reason for creating 'The Crow' was to vent his frustrations and pain, he only found it to be 'more self-destructive, if anything' at first.
    He sold all movie rights to 'The Crow,' which is now on its fifth installment (one movie was enough).
    He once joked: 'Jesus walks into a hotel with 3 nails and he asks the innkeeper: Can you put me up for the night?'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His fiancee was killed by a drunk driver, which is what inspired him to create 'The Crow.'
    He was a Marine.
    He was stationed in Berlin, Germany, which is where he created 'The Crow.'
    He is a fan of the 1970's Detroit punk rock scene and the 1980's British Goth rock scene.
    Edgar Allan Poe is one of his favorite writers.
