Dirk Manning is the writer/creator of comic series such as the supernatural noir TALES OF MR. RHEE and the genre-bending horror anthology NIGHTMARE WORLD.
More of Dirk’s comic work includes the official graphic novel adaptation of the classic lost horror film LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT (with the estate of Lon Chaney), RSVP: E.S.P.

When not at his desk writing, touring the comic convention circuit, sampling his way across the best ice cream shops in the world, or proudly serving as Publisher at Source Point Press helping usher in a new era of creator-owned graphic novels in the genres of horror, speculative fiction, and pulp from a variety of cutting-edge creators, Dirk can be found online at www.DirkManning.com and on most social media platforms as @dirkmanning.
