Early life

Career

Dezago began his comics writing career on X-Factor for Marvel Comics in 1994.[2] He first worked with penciller Mike Wieringo on The Sensational Spider-Man #8 (Sept. 1996).[3] They then worked together on the creator-owned fantasy series Tellos in 1999.[4] The series, a coming-of-age adventure set in a magical, piratical world, ran 10 issues (May 1999–Nov. 2000). The last three issues were released by Gorilla Comics, a short-lived Image Comics imprint co-founded by Dezago and several other creators in 2000.[5][6] Following the demise of the series, Dezago wrote the Tellos: Maiden Voyage #1 (March 2001) one-shot.

At DC Comics, Dezago co-created Young Justice with artist Todd Nauck in the 1998 one-shot Young Justice: The Secret.[7][8] His other Young Justice work includes the 1998 miniseries JLA: World Without Grown-ups.[9] From 1999 to 2002, he wrote Impulse #50–89.[10] In 2005 he co-created The Perhapanauts with artist Craig Rousseau.[7]
