Biography

Mike Baron broke into comics with an illustrated text piece in Weird Trips Magazine #1 (March 1974) published by Kitchen Sink Press.[1] In 1981, he published his first formal comics script with Nexus, the science fiction title he co-created with illustrator Steve Rude; the series garnered numerous honors, including Eisners for both creators. A prolific creator, Baron is responsible for The Badger, Ginger Fox, Spyke, Feud, and many other comic book titles. He and artist Jackson Guice relaunched The Flash in June 1987.[2] Baron and Klaus Janson introduced the character Microchip as an ally of the Punisher in The Punisher #4 (November 1987).[3] Baron has also written numerous other mainstream characters including Batman and several Star Wars adaptations for Dark Horse. He has been nominated for Best Writer in the Kirby, Harvey and Eisner Awards, and has won two Eisners ("Best Single Issue" and "Best Writer/Artist Team" both with Rude) for his work on Nexus.[4]

Baron has written novels including Biker, which he is scheduled to adapt as a graphic novel for Comicmix, Skorpio, Whack Job, and Helmet Head.[citation needed]

Influences

Baron has listed Carl Barks[5] and Philip José Farmer as influences on his fiction writing.[6]
