About the Author

Daniel Barnes is a writer from Fresno, CA. After serving in the U.S. Navy for four years, he enrolled in Academy of Art University and studied Writing for TV & Film and Animation Production.

His current works include THE BLACK MAGE (an original graphic novel co-created with D.J. Kirkland) and various issues of AGGRETSUKO and SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. He also works as a Narrative Designer on GUILD WARS 2 — a popular MMORPG developed by ArenaNet.

Daniel derives much of his inspiration from anime, ‘90s video games, and Saturday morning cartoons… and it shows! He hopes to inspire other creatives of color to pursue their artistic dreams, and to push for representation in mediums that they don’t often see themselves reflected in.
