Artist Steve Dillon grew up drawing from an early age; the London native received his first professional assignment at age 16. His work for various UK publishers led to his being offered work on Vertigo's Hellblazer which paired him with writer Garth Ennis. They went on to create the award-winning Preacher. Garth Ennis has been writing comics for over twenty years, initially for British titles like 2000 AD and Crisis, then for various American publishers. As well as Preacher—which he co-created with Steve Dillon—his credits include Hellblazer, Hitman, War Stories, Adventures In The Rifle Brigade, Kev, Battler Britton, The Boys, Battlefields, Dan Dare, 303, The Chronicles Of Wormwood, Crossed, Streets Of Glory, Dicks, The Punisher, Fury and The Pro. Originally hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, he now resides in New York City with his wife, Ruth.
