His other novels include The Beautiful and the Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. He died of a heart attack in 1940 at the age of forty-four. Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir are the authors of several original graphic novels, including Skinwalker, Three Strikes, Maria’s Wedding, and Past Lies (all from Oni Press).

They live in Los Angeles and also work in film and television.   Kevin Cornell is an illustrator and designer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
