About the author

Cullen grew up in rural North Carolina, but now lives in the St. Louis area with his wife Cindy and his son Jackson. His noir/horror comic (and first collaboration with Brian Hurtt), The Damned, was published in 2007 by Oni Press. The follow-up, The Damned: Prodigal Sons, was released in 2008. In addition to The Sixth Gun, his current projects include Crooked Hills, a middle reader horror prose series from Evileye Books; The Tooth, an original graphic novel from Oni Press; and various work for Marvel and DC. Somewhere along the way, Cullen founded Undaunted Press and edited the critically acclaimed small press horror magazine, Whispers from the Shattered Forum.

All writers must pay their dues, and Cullen has worked various odd jobs, including Alien Autopsy Specialist, Rodeo Clown, Professional Wrestler Manager, and Sasquatch Wrangler.

And, yes, he has fought for his life against mountain lions and he did perform on stage as the World's Youngest Hypnotist. Buy him a drink sometime, and he'll tell you all about it.

Reviews

[Octavia Cade · Rating 1 out of 5]

I've got the first four issues and I'm giving them a shot, but I have to say I'm fast losing interest. This is going downhill into sadistic violence and little but, and that's always been the least compelling sort of horror for me. Do I want stories about people mesmerised into eating their own arm and dipping their face into a fat fryer? No, I do not.

Both the art and the story in this issue are absolutely phenomenal. I am enjoying this comic book series so much that I want to keep going.

Oooo, I always like a good revenge plot. Also, morally ambiguous super heroes is also pretty fun.
