Meet writer Ed Brisson at #DCAF2023

Ed Brisson is a comic book writer who first started to garner attention with his self-published crime series MURDER BOOK. He broke into the public spotlight in 2012 with the crime/time-travel thriller series COMEBACK (Shadowline/Image Comics). In the short time since then, he’s written and co-created four other series published by Image: SHELTERED, THE FIELD, THE MANTLE and THE VIOLENT. His self-published series MURDER BOOK was collected and released by Dark Horse in early 2015.

Ed has also written for DC, Marvel, BOOM, IDW, Aftershock and many others.

Currently, Ed is writing BATMAN INCORPORATED and THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD: STORMWATCH for DC and PREDATOR and ALPHA FLIGHT for Marvel and SINS OF THE SALTON SEA for AWA.

Nominated for the Joe Shuster Award for Best Canadian Writer several times, Ed lives in Halifax with his wife and daughter.

Andy’s Cozy Crochet
www.facebook.com/andyscozycrochet
I make affordable crocheted goods, mostly stuffies and hats, and mostly from my own patterns. My stuffies are all done in a ‘chubby and cute’ or ‘chibi’ similar style. I have a large selection of superheroes and villains (Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Thor, Captain America, Link, Sailor Moon, and many more); pokemon, pokeballs, light sabers, Death Stars and Baby Yodas, house hippos and dinosaurs; Cthulhu, Baby Groot, creations from Doctor Who such as Adipose and Daleks, and even a demogorgon from Stranger Things, plus more. For hats for all ages I make them in the style of Yoda, Pikachu, Pokeballs, TMNT, BB8, Totoro, and more. I also make a variety of small ornaments that are good for a keychain, backpack, or even a Christmas tree – small Koopa shells, mini pokeballs and Death Stars, Cyberman and Yoda heads, facehuggers, metal slimes, and more.
