Crilley, Mark
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author, Comics.
(1965- ) US creator of the Comic Akiko (1995-current), and of the Akiko series of Young Adult or younger sf adventures, usually in interstellar Space Opera venues lightly spoofed, based on the comic, beginning with Akiko on the Planet Smoo (2000). Crilley has a modest, comical touch with storyline, though he has not seriously stretched himself or his readers. The Billy Clikk sequence, beginning with Billy Clikk: Creath Battler (2004), also for younger readers, follows the exploits of the eponymous hero, who fights Monsters in secret. He started a new six-part Graphic Novel series, Brody's Ghost, in 2010. [JC/JP]
