Dan Mishkin

Dan Mishkin has spent over three decades crafting stories that transport readers to magical realms and deliver superhero thrills with a wink. Together with his longtime collaborator Gary Cohn, he helped shape the Bronze Age DC Comics universe, co-creating characters whose legacies have inspired generations of readers and continue to find new audiences through animation and modern reinterpretations.

Dan’s writing has appeared throughout the comic book landscape. He’s tackled Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and numerous other DC mainstays, brought his talents to Marvel, contributed to First Comics during the indie boom of the 1980s, and even explored the final frontier with Malibu Comics’ Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series. His versatility extends beyond superhero fare—he co-created The Warren Commission Report, a graphic investigation into the Kennedy assassination that demonstrated comics could tackle serious non-fiction subjects with depth and nuance.

Dan has also shown his commitment to the next generation of comic creators and readers. As a co-founder of the Kids Read Comics festival, he’s dedicated to nurturing young talent and spreading the joy of sequential art. This commitment to community reflects his belief that comics have the power to inspire, educate, and connect people of all ages.
