    Short summary describing this person.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    Jan C. Childress wrote as a contributing journalist for several "Zines" (fan-created magazines) including the Marvel Zombie Society comic book critics publication.[4] He later began working with publications such as The Overstreet Comic Book Monthly (an offshoot of Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide) and Comic Critics Calvacade. Jan was part of a collective of critics whose monthly letters to Marvel and DC Comics had influence over the creative direction of the narratives under review due to their consistent volume of criticisms and commentary that regularly were printed in "Letters" section of the books (located at the end of many comic books, this is where mail from readers would appear). After Jan criticized ethnic diversity in a Marvel Comics title, then-Marvel Vice President Jim Shooter challenged him to write what he wished to see as one of the comic creators for Jim's offshoot company, Defiant Comics, where Jan wrote The Good Guys (comics) monthly series.[5]

    Jan was instrumental in helping his son Jan Lucanus establish the transmedia company Creative Impulse Entertainment, and has created several comic book titles for the company, including Durga: The Geomancer, Tengu: A Ninja/Samurai Love Story, and JFH: Justice For Hire.
