After 10 years of encouraging London teenagers to draw anything other than comics, Christian Ward is now a multi-Eisner Award winning comic book artist and writer.

He is best known for his cosmic space operas ODY-C (co-created with Matt Fraction) and Invisible Kingdom (co-created with G. Willow Wilson). He was also the artist on the acclaimed Marvel comics series Black Bolt (with Saladin Ahmed), as well contributing to both Thor (with Jason Arron) and Batman (with James Tynion IV). In 2019 he released his first book as a writer, Machine Gun Wizards (co-created with Sami Kivelä) and has juggled loving writing comics with loving drawing comics ever since.

Ward currently lives in Shrewsbury with his two daughters, his wife Catherine, and a pug named Thor.

Patric left his former life as a Las Vegas high school teacher with a house, a pension, and new Toyota to go learn how to become a comic book artist. Since 2009, he has worked with Patton Oswalt and Joss Whedon (Serenity: Float Out), Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden, Chris Roberson, and John Arcudi on several "Mignolaverse" titles (Abe Sapien, Hellboy & the BPRD 1954, and Joe Golem), Steve Niles (The Thing), Christopher Cantwell (The Mask), and Rodney Barnes and Jason Shawn Alexander (Nita Hawes Nightmare Blog) as comic book illustrator. He has also done extensive concept and character design work as well as illustrated exclusive covers for several comic titles including Gideon Falls, Skulldigger & Skeleton Boy, and Black Hammer, all created by Jeff Lemire.

He now lives in Portland, Oregon with a sofa unit, Medicaid, and a bus pass. He couldn't be happier.
