    Career

    Andy Mangels' first published work was an exhaustive bibliographical checklist, and a trivia page for the Fantagraphics book, Focus on George Perez. Focus was a career retrospective on George Perez, detailing his work into the late 80s. Andy's checklist was intensely researched, massively detailed, and culled mostly from his own collection. Fantagraphics editor Kim Thompson obviously liked what he saw in the man's work and hired Andy to write regularly for Amazing Heroes. During the 90s Andy wrote several comics adaptations for the movies Child's Play, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday The 13th. He worked for WaRP Graphics, writing the Elfquest spinoff title Blood of Ten Chiefs with art from a rotating staff of exceptional creators, including his Child's Play artist, Brandon McKinney. With its 14th issue, Andy became the editor of the award-winning anthology series Gay Comics succeeding comics legends Howard Cruse and Robert Triptow. Andy has written for both DC and Image Comics and has since gone on to write several novels for Paramount's Star Trek series, two of which became best-sellers.

    Personal Life

    Andy was born and raised in Northwest Montana. In his early twenties, he moved to Portland Oregon where he has made his home since. He is one of the few openly gay comics creators, and has made great inroads for acceptance of gay and lesbian creators and fans into the comics community. Lately, Andy has branched out into writing and producing documentaries on different pop culture subjects ranging from Wonder Woman to The Real Ghostbusters animated cartoon.
