Chuck Dixon

Charles "Chuck" Dixon is an American comic book writer, perhaps best-known for long runs on Batman titles in the 1990s.

His earliest comics work was writing Evangeline first for Comico Comics in 1984 (then later for First Comics, who published the on-going series), on which he worked with his then-wife, the artist Judith Hunt. His big break came one year later, when editor Larry Hama hired him to write back-up stories for Marvel Comics' The Savage Sword of Conan.

In 1986, he began working for Eclipse Comics, writing Airboy with artist Tim Truman. Continuing to write for both Marvel and (mainly) Eclipse on these titles, as well as launching Strike! with artist Tom Lyle in August 1987 and Valkyrie with artist Paul Gulacy in October 1987, he began work on Carl Potts' Alien Legion series for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, under editor Archie Goodwin. He also produced a three-issue adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for Eclipse with artist David Wenzel between 1989 and 1990, and began writing Marc Spector: Moon Knight in June 1989.

His Punisher OGN Kingdom Gone (August, 1990) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal (and later, more monthly and occasional Punisher titles), and also brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Denny O'Neil, who asked him to produce a Robin mini-series. The mini proved popular enough to spawn two sequels - The Joker's Wild (1991) and Cry of the Huntress (1992) - which led to both an ongoing monthly series (which Dixon wrote for 100 issues before leaving to work with CrossGen Comics), and to Dixon working on Detective Comics from #644-738 through the major Batman stories KnightFall & KnightsEnd (for which he helped create the key character of Bane), DC One Million , Contagion , Legacy , Cataclysm and No Man's Land . Much of his run was illustrated by Graham Nolan.

He was DC's most prolific Batman-writer in the mid-1990s (rivalled perhaps in history by Bill Finger and Dennis O'Neil) - in addition to writing Detective Comics he pioneered the individual series for Robin , Nightwing (which he wrote for 70 issues, and returned to briefly with 2005's #101) and Batgirl , as well as creating the team and book Birds of Prey .

While writing multiple Punisher and Batman comics (and October 1994's Punisher/Batman crossover), he also found time to launch Team 7 for Jim Lee's WildStorm/Image and Prophet for Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios. He also wrote many issues of Catwoman and Green Arrow , regularly having about seven titles out each and every month between the years 1993 and 1998.

In March, 2002, Dixon turned his attention to CrossGen's output, salthough he co-wrote with Scott Beatty the origin of Barbara Gordon's Batgirl in 2003's Batgirl: Year One. For CrossGen he took over some of the comics of the out-going Mark Waid, taking over Sigil from #21, and Crux with #13. He launched Way of the Rat in June 2002, Brath (March '03), The Silken Ghost (June '03) and the pirate comic El Cazador (Oct '03), as well as editing Robert Rodi's non-Sigilverse The Crossovers. He also wrote the Ruse spin-off Archard's Agents one-shots in January and November '03 and April '04, the last released shortly before CrossGen's complete collapse forced the cancellation of all of its comics, before which Dixon wrote a single issue of Sojourn (May '04). Dixon's Way of the Rat #24, Brath #14 and El Cazador #6 were among the last comics released from the then-bankrupt publisher.

On June 10, 2008, Dixon announced on his forum that he was no longer "employed by DC Comics in any capacity."

A Vietnamese syndicate chief sends hitmen after Levon and his family. Big mistake. Levon goes on the hunt, as only he can, leaving a trail of dead bodies in his wake.

He makes his way to Vietnam, but the country is a lot different than in the old Rambo movies.

Different than the other books in the series in that his daughter doesn't have her own adventure. I really think those sections separated this book from others in the subgenre. I missed it more than I thought I would.

Levon is on a rampage, to protect his family. Hit men come to his ranch in Idaho and Levon realizes he has to take it to his enemy. This story ties back to several previous books in the series and the repercussions of what Levon has been up to for so many books.

The overall tone and story suffers a bit from Merry not being present until the end, she's been the one that grounds Levon and gives him pause in some actions. But without her there and his need to save her, to protect her drives him very strongly in this book so she's present, in a way.

Overall very entertaining and engaging.

Good stuff

I would suggest reading this 12 book series from book 1. This series is not for the squeamish, lots and lots of violence. Lots of solid supporting characters and some good humor as well, as well as the Brotherhood of veterans and the importance of family. Check it out and enjoy.

Well, this seems like the right place to end this…until, I assume, Merry or Hope get into some bad business and need some help.

Greetings, avid Levon Cade series devotees! I have some exciting news for you today.

The legendary Chuck Dixon, the mastermind behind the best-selling Levon Cade series, has just released his latest masterpiece, ‘Levon’s Scourge!’ This is the twelfth book in the series that follows the exploits of Levon Cade, a former Marine sniper who became a vigilante after his family was murdered. In this book, Levon faces his most ruthless enemy yet, a hired hit team that intends to kill him and everyone in his family. Sending his family away was the hardest thing he had ever done, but he had to. Levon has no idea where his uncle and the girls were but he knew it was best if he wanted to keep them all alive. Levon must use all his skills and resources to stop the scourge before it claims the lives of his family. He also has to call in many of his chips with people who owe him as he tracks the organization and the man behind it who has sent this hit team. This book is a roller coaster ride of action, suspense, and emotion that will keep you hooked until the end.

I have read all of Chuck Dixon’s books on Levon Cade and “Levon’s Scourge” is as good as the rest. Chuck Dixon creates a great story with a fast-paced plot with lots of violence and dead bodies.
The story is about some Vietnamese businessmen who are extremely wealthy with criminal leanings, and with strong ties to their government. Levon, in the past, hurt their pride by robbing them of a fortune and they are now attempting to destroy Levon and his family in response. Big mistake! Levon must stop this scourge by any means possible and he goes in full pelt, including visiting Vietnam as well as meeting with sources who owe him.
It is exciting to read about his methods, his amazing skills, and how he tracks the organization.
This is a book you cannot put down if you can appreciate how he destroys the number of villains.

Levon's Scourge is the culmination of Levon's story, one that began way back in book one. This one focuses solely on Levon as journeys across the globe, stopping in Mexico before moving onto Vietnam, where he's planning on taking out the ultimate threat to his family. It's another fantastic thriller from author Chuck Dixon and it brings Cade's story full-circle. It also feels like a finale, although I'm holding out hope that Dixon has more adventures up his sleeve for Levon. If not, this is a great series that easily ranks alongside Lee Child, Jack Carr, and Vince Flynn's creations.

Chuck Dixon's Levon Cade Series

I truly did not appreciate this series my first round. People, take the time to read this. Despite this being fiction, one can't help but wonder at the atrocities committed for "personal gain" and the few who try to right those atrocities. Powerful series Mr. Dixon. Thank you.

Leave nothing at your 6

There are serious consequences to be had when one threatens Cade’s family. This last entry shows that to the fullest extent. Fortunately for Levon, the powers that be will overlook his swift & final actions towards the Asians who threatened him. He can go back to his life and daughters. And if this is the end, then it was a satisfying journey.

A fantastic ending!

This was a fantastic ending to this terrific series. Honestly, I would have liked to seen many more stories in this series. With it's interesting characters, humor, drama, angst, mystery, suspense, and intriguing twists, it's certainly a must read series.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

Very few dead spots

I have enjoyed this entire series, action packed, a little larger than life. No ambiguous morals, a very simple view of right and wrong. Levon's character displays characteristics most of us wish we were able to display.

Levon has been sytematically taking care of the goons that have been trying to kill him and his family. Now he needs to cut the head off the snake and that could cost him his life. If this is the end of the series, it has been a great run!

In the twelfth Levon Cade novel, Levon is on the run alone again and trying desperately to chop off the head of the snake that continues to pursue him. This one dragged a little for me, but the final action set piece is awesomely brutal. Curious to see where Dixon goes next.

Must read.

I love this series. Many possibilities, action, and a good story line. I just wish that the stories would continue on a more regular basis. This author has a number of other series out but I think this is the best.

Book 12 sees Cade Bourne again into his one-man army roots. The Bond villain lair finale is a highlight of the book series thus far.

Bring on Levon number 13.

Loved the series but the ending was kind of a flop I guess you could figure out what happened at the end

4 stars for the series. Very well written, fast paced. This last installation was just OK. Not a fan of the settings/action but it got the job done. Liked how there was a thread from book #1 to book #12. Not too heavy, just a nice background story. Very violent. Action packed. Several animal deaths :(. Which bothered me more than the human deaths,
