Ben Dunn (born April 17, 1964)[2] is an American comic book artist and publisher.

Biography

Dunn was born in Taiwan, and grew up in Taiwan,[3] Kentucky, and San Antonio, Texas, where he graduated from Central Catholic Marianist High School.[3] It was in Taiwan that he was first exposed to Japanese manga.[3]

In 1984 he co-founded Antarctic Press,[3] an American comic book company specializing in manga-style (Amerimanga) titles. His most notable creations for Antarctic are the comic book series Ninja High School and Warrior Nun Areala.[3]

In 2003, Dunn sold his portion of Antarctic Press to start his own development company, Sentai Studios. After a couple of years he closed Sentai and returned to Antarctic.[4]

Dunn was one of the primary artists involved in the short-lived Marvel Mangaverse project. He also worked as an animator for the science-fiction film A Scanner Darkly.[5]

In 2016, Art Greenhaw began creating, editing and writing faith-based visual novels and comic books, starting with the book series God's Silver Soldiers,[6] also known as Silver Soldiers: The Comic and followed by Tales of Nazareth: The Boyhood of Jesus.[7] The comic books, under the imprint of Truthmonger Comics Group Publishing, have achieved acclaim for their action-oriented innovation in illustrations by Dunn, as well as their storylines, and they have been covered in the media by TV channels, newspapers, and faith-based, nationally syndicated radio.[8]

In 2019, Dunn created the Coalition of Independent Comic Publishers.[9]

Personal life

Dunn lives in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex with his wife and two children.
