Ben Edlund
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ben Edlund is a comic book artist and writer and television screenwriter. He created his signature character The Tick when he was 17, and was given the chance to do a full comic based on the character by New England Comics, when the publisher needed a new title fast, based on a production mix-up. Edlund drew the popular character while majoring in film at Massachusetts College of Art. The Tick has since been featured in animation on Fox TV and Comedy Central, which naturally led to various toy and merchandising deals.
In the late '90s, Edlund collaborated with indie German Expressionist film-maker Lisa Hammer and her husband E.A. "Doc" Hammer on the film Crawley. In the early '00s he was employed by Joss Whedon at Mutant Enemy, first on Firefly and then later on the final season of Angel, writing and directing the Hugo Award nominated episode Smile Time. Edlund has recently completed a script for the new season of the animated series The Venture Bros. on Cartoon Network, whose show runners are Eric "Doc" Hammer and Chris "Jackson Publick" McCulloch, the latter having formerly written for The Tick animated series.
Ben is now a consulting producer and writer on the tv series Supernatural. So far he has written the episodes "Simon Said" (2x05) and "Nightshifter" (2x12).
