Geoffrey Thorne first made a name for himself as a writer in 2003 by winning Second Prize in Simon & Schuster’s annual collection of Star Trek short stories, Strange New Worlds. An actor-turned-writer, Thorne has been consistently penning new work for audio, television and comics; including, but certainly not limited to: screenwriting for TNT’s The Librarians, Marvel Animation’s Ultimate Spider-Man, writing the comic adaptation of Knight Rider for Lion Forge Comics as well as working on creator-owned projects such as Prodigal (Thrillbent, 2013).Born in Alberta, Marcus To has been drawing since childhood but never dreamed he would be able to do it professionally. In 2009, he made the move to Toronto; that same year, he started working for DC. In 2010, he joined the Royal Academy of Illustration and Design studio in downtown Toronto. To’s Marvel credits include Black Panther, New Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men: Blue and New Warriors, but Excalibur is his longest and most acclaimed run.
