Doug Murray

Beginnings: Did movie articles, previews, and behind-the-scene pieces for journals as diverse as FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, MONSTER TIMES, MILLIMETER, TAKE ONE, and STERANKO’S MEDIASCENE (High Point: Doing the first article on STAR WARS for Steranko--and having George Lucas buy the issue out as a give-away in a Distributor’s meeting.).

Later: Stumbled into Comic Books, first doing vignettes for SAVAGE TALES, later creating and writing the award-winning THE NAM before moving on to; THE MERC; THE WAR; SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN; MEDAL OF HONOR (note the pattern); ROGER RABBIT; DARKWING DUCK; and the upcoming: FLYING TIGERS.

Later Still: Started doing short-stories for a variety of collections including: CONFEDERACY OF THE DAMNED; GRAILS: VISITATIONS OF THE NIGHT; TALES OF THE WHITE WOLF: DARK DESTINY II; THE FLEET; DANTE’S DISCIPLES; and more.

Ongoing: Have spent more than forty years as an active participant in the world of entertainment conventions, MC’ing scores (if not hundreds) of Star Trek shows as well as a number of shows based on other genres. This led to a 10 year period as agent/coordinator for the STAR WARS: MEN BEHIND THE MASKS tour for Lucasfilms Ltd. Lots of travel with some very interesting people (the actors from the Star Wars trilogy).

More Recently: Back to comics, teaming with hot artist Frank Cho to do RED SONIA, JUNGLE GIRL, and the forthcoming: 50 GIRLS 50. Also writing STARGATE: ATLANTIS; STARGATE: DANIEL JACKSON; and, if the contracts go through, the upcoming STARGATE: SAMANTHA CARTER.

Right now: writing the ‘Seal Team Six No More’ series of novels for Dynamite/Amazon and, just now, self-publishing my own work with what I hope will be the first book in a new series: ‘Called to Duty’
