Author Biography

Pete Von Sholly
has been drawing since childhood, when he was mesmerized by the cult magazine Famous
Monsters of Filmland and devoured classic monster movies on black and white
television long after the family had gone to bed. His fascination led to an
extensive career as a Hollywood storyboard artist on over 100 feature films,
including The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist, The Mask,
Darkman, and Mars Attacks. He has storyboarded a Pumpkinhead, a
Pinhead, a Jason, two Freddy Kruegers and three Chuckies. In addition, he has
churned out monster-filled graphic novels, model kits, and trading cards
published by Dark Horse, IDW, BOOM!, Kitchen Sink and others. and created
lavishly illustrated editions of classic horror books by H.P. Lovecraft, Joe R.
Lansdale and Stephen King. Even his two ventures into political satire, praised
by The Washington Post and cited by the Village Voice as best
comics of the year, graphically depict what he considers the real monsters of
our time: politicians.
