Better Zombies Through Physics 02

Jim is the author of seven graphic novels about scientists (so far), on topics ranging from physicists to paleontogists to behaviorists. He's probably the only comics writer whose books have received acclaim from both Physics World and Vampirella Magazine.

Upcoming titles include biographies of Richard Feynman and the Trimates (Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas) for First Second, and "T-Minus," the story of the space race, for Simon & Schuster's young adult imprint Aladdin.

His day job used to be as a nuclear engineer. He's now a librarian at the University of Michigan.

Sean Bieri is an illustrator, grapic designer, and cartoonist whose humorous mini-comics include Business Chimp, The Gospel According to St. Segar, the Jape series, and others. His work appears in Jim Ottaviani's Two Fisted Science, the anthology True Porn, and online at Serializer.net. This year, a comic strip synopsis of the scandals surrounding Detroit's former mayor, for which Bieri provided art, won an award from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies. He is the art director of Detroit's free weekly paper Metro Times and lives with his wife in the tiny urban enclave of Hamtramck, Michigan.

Sean's work for Tor.com includes his own The 12 Days of Zombie Christmas and art for Ottaviani's Better Zombies Through Physics. View Sean's Tor.com artist gallery here.
