While David Dastmalchian is renowned for his acting roles, he has made significant contributions to the comic book industry as a writer and creator over the last five years. His passion for storytelling converges with his love for horror and comics, which have led to the creation of several notable series: Count Crowley: Reluctant Midnight Monster Hunter, Count Crowley Volume 2: Amateur Midnight Monster Hunter, Count Crowley Volume 3: Mediocre Midnight Monster Hunter, and both the 2023 and 2024 Headless Horseman Anthology for Dark Horse Comics, Knights vs. Samurai for Image Comics and revitalizing DC's Creature Commandos. He has also written for Marvel in Venom: Black, White & Blood and Web of Venomverse: Fresh Brains. Most recently, Dastmalchian released his graphic novel, THROUGH with Z2 Comics, and is releasing his new comic series The Accessories with Panick Entertainment in the summer of 2026.
Leah Kilpatrick is a writer, actor, and creature-maker whose work spans comics, film, and television. Drawing from her background in performance and production, she explores reimagined monsters, dark humor, and the humanity buried inside the things we fear most. She has contributed to both DC Comics and Dark Horse, writing for titles such as DC Horror Presents and the Headless Horseman Halloween Annual in 2023 and 2024.
Her upcoming slate includes two major horror series premiering in 2026. The first to be announced is The Accessories, releasing with Panick Entertainment in summer 2026.

Frank Cvetkovic is a comic book letterer who hates when people assume that all he does is put words in bubbles. There’s a little more to the job than that. For instance, sometimes he puts them in boxes. He currently lives in Cleveland, OH where the rivers occasionally catch fire and the city sometimes shuts down due to deadly swarms of balloons.
