[edit] Biography

Prosser was part of Dark Horse Comics from its early days, and was one of five creators, who as Team CGW created the Comics' Greatest World line for Dark Horse Comics. Since then, he has written for many Dark Horse titles, and moved into editorial duties, most notably on Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, and various licenced Aliens and Predator comics.

He also pencilled part of Godzilla #5, one of Dark Horse's earliest licenced properties, in December 1988.

In addition to his work with Dark Horse, Prosser wrote the final ten issues (#80-89) of the Grant Morrison-launched DC/Vertigo series Animal Man in 1995, and has written comics set in the world of Magic: the Gathering for Armada/Acclaim Comics.
