Career

Comics

Shane White's earliest comic work appeared in small-press comics in the mid-80s. His first professional penciling gig was for Silverwolf Comics' (Greater Mercury Comics) Eradicators in 1990. Several years later he did work for DC/Paradox's Big Book of Urban Legends. In 1998 Caliber Comics hired him along with Martin Powell to adapt Whitley Strieber's Communion book, of which two of the four issues were ultimately finished. His first graphic novel North Country, a 96-page full-color memoir published by NBM Publishing, reveals the hard-scrabble life of living in a blue-collar mill town in upstate New York. In his second graphic novel Things Undone, we follow Rick Watts a videogame artist who struggles with falling out of love with his girlfriend, his job and with life, turning him into a zombie. BRAUN, his third graphic novel, is about Maven, a girl and her highly advanced robot protector. When he's kidnapped by a powerful corporation she and her friends have to break him free but find a secret that will change the face of humanity.
