Steven Grant
Part of the mid-70's CPL fanzine scene that included the likes of John Byrne, Bob Layton, and Roger Stern among others, Steven Grant entered the field professionally around 1978 with work for the Warren Magazines and Marvel, and has since become one of comics' best writers with an impressive range of work from a variety of publishers.
That range includes titles such as Whisper (Capital/First), Badlands (Dark Horse), Grifter (Wildstorm), Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (DC), and X-Man (Marvel) among others. Grant's collaboration with artist Mike Zeck on the original Punisher mini-series became a pivotal work for Marvel and was an important part of the mid-80's comics renaissance which included works such as Miller's Dark Knight, Moore and Gibbons' Watchmen, and Grell's Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters.
With Avatar Press, Grant has created and written the crime/horror comic saga Mortal Souls, is contributing the sequential adaptation on Frank Miller's Robocop, and has another upcoming project called My Flesh is Cool beginning in December 2003. |

Frank Miller's Robocop commentary by Steven Grant
If you've ever picked up a book on writing screenplays, there are rules. Hollywood loves rules. Such-and-such must be introduced here, this has to happen by such-and-such a page. This type of character must be handled in this specific way. This much space on the page equals that much time on screen. There was a time when these things were loose guidelines, rules of thumb. That was back before bankers took over Hollywood, and decided as much as possible should be cut and dried.
So when Frank sent me a copy of his Robocop 2 screenplay, my eyes popped.
Frank and I have been friends a long time, so I know how he operates. Not that anyone who's familiar with his work doesn't know the same thing. One thing's pretty obvious: (...continued)
