Simon Spurrier was born
in 1981.
After completing a degree in
Film & Television Production at
S.I.A.D.
he worked as an Art Director for the BBC, and was awarded screenplay bursaries
at the National
Academy Of Writing and the
Met Film School.
Since 2001 he's become a major
writer for the UK's foremost adult comic
2000AD, and in recent years
has published multiple projects through U.S. giants such as
Marvel (X-Men, Wolverine,
Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider),
D.C. (Poison Ivy,
Power Trip), Avatar Press
(Crossed: Wish You Were Here, Disenchanted),
Dark Horse (In Fetu) and
Image (Gutsville).
He began his career as a prose
writer in 2003 with a novelisation of the Kuju
Entertainment/Games
Workshop videogame Fire Warrior. He subsequently produced
work-for-hire genre novels for BL
Publishing (Lord of the Night, Strontium Dog: Prophet Margin)
and Abaddon Press (The
Culled).
In late 2007 Spurrier
published his first creator-owned novel, Contract, through
Hodder Headline. This was followed
in 2011 by A Serpent Uncoiled.
Spurrier was born in
Somewhere-You've-Never-Heard-Of, grew up in the heartlands of
Nowhere-Terribly-Interesting, and lives today in North London. He spends much of
his time in quiet cafes and pubs, where he exerts an unwanted cosmic magnetism
upon any loud or malodorous patrons who should enter.
He spends far more time
than he should on Twitter.
