Career Highlights[edit]

In film, Harris' screenplay for Darkness Falls was based on Tooth Fairy, his short film which presented a horrific twist on the children’s bedtime myth. He wrote the politically themed slasher film The Tripper which featured David Arquette as writer and director.[1]

In comics, Harris has written for many major publishers, writing X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman and other related characters.

Harris has various creator-owned projects. With Oni Press, he released the 2010 five-issue miniseries he wrote Ghost Projekt, on which Steve Rolston provided the art.[2] He followed it up with the mini series, Spontaneous in 2011 with Brett Weldele.[3] During the summer of 2013, an Original Graphic Novel, hardcover book called Wars in Toyland is due to be released with artist Adam Pollina.[4] In 2012, with Image Comics, Harris and artist Martin Morazzo premiered the ongoing series, Great Pacific.[5]

He replaced Gail Simone as the writer on The Fury of Firestorm for DC Comics as part of The New 52.[6] He wrote issues #0 and #7-12.

In March 2013, IDW Publishing and Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products announced that Harris would be the writer of The X-Files: Season 10, an in-continuity monthly comic book series executive produced by X-Files creator Chris Carter. The premiere issue will debut on June 19, 2013.[7]
