Home: About
Sean Taylor is an award-winning writer of stories. He grew up telling lies, and he got
pretty good at it, so now he writes them into full-blown adventures for comic books,
graphic novels, magazines, book anthologies and novels. He makes stuff up for money,
and he writes it down for fun. He's a lucky fellow that way.
He's best known for his work on the best-selling Gene Simmons Dominatrix comic book
series from IDW Publishing and Simmons Comics Group. He has also written comics
for TV properties such as the top-rated Oxygen Network series The Bad Girls Club.
His other forays into fiction include such realms as steampunk, pulp, young adult,
fantasy, superheroes, sci-fi, and even samurai frogs on horseback (seriously, don't
laugh). However, his favorite contribution to the world will be as the writer/editor
who invented the genre and coined the term "Hookerpunk."
He also recently entered the world of board/card game design and plans to buy his
second and third Malibu Summer home with the money he makes from those ventures.
(Yes, that's a joke. Writing hasn't even managed to pay for his first Malibu Summer home yet.)

“Sean Taylor is a serious student of the pulp arts and keeps
the grand tradition alive in his stories. This is escapist fiction
the way it used to be done.”
—Charles Ardai
"...More fully-rounded, more realistic and, as a direct result,
more human than all but the best superhero comic book work."
—Dwayne McDuffie
“Sean Taylor’s stories focus less on the obvious trappings of the genre, instead
homing in on the conflicted, flawed human beings for whom greater-than-
mortal powers don’t convey greater-than-mortal morality.”
—Tom Brevoort
“Once you’re done reading, you’ll know you read a
well-crafted, fully rounded piece of work.”
—Dan Jurgens
“Taylor’s stories pulse with a visceral reality. ...lives
in the place where modern fiction meets mythology.”
—Barbara Randall Kesel
“If there are any tears in these riveting tales — and, I’m afraid, there are —
they do not diminish the courage of Taylor’s champions or the power of his
writing. These are the quiet pains that stay with the readers and, hopefully,
help them appreciate the heroes in their own lives.”
—Tony Isabella
“I’ll sum it up as simply as I can: you’re going to care. That’s what Sean
does with his characters and the stories they inhabit. He makes you care.”
