Dirk Manning is the writer/creator of comic series such as the supernatural noir Tales of Mr. Rhee and the genre-bending horror anthology Nightmare World. More of Dirk's comic work includes Buried But Not Dead, Twiztid Haunted High-Ons, Hope, Love Stories (to Die For), and The Adventures of Cthulhu Jr. & Friends. Now predominantly publishing with Source Point Press, Dirk was an early adapter in using crowdfunding to launch pre-sales of his comics and graphic novels, with Dirk's work having raised over $400,000 and counting in pre-sales on Kickstarter alone. Dirk is also the author of the inspirational/how-to column turned book series Write or Wrong: A Writer's Guide to Creating.
When not at his desk writing, touring on the comic convention circuit, and/or sampling his way across the best ice cream shops in the world, Dirk can be found online at www.DirkManning.com and on most social media platforms as @DirkManning.
