Tampa-based publisher CrossGen Comics adds another notch to its ever-growing belt of top name talent with the addition of longtime DC Comics contributor Chuck Dixon. Perhaps best known for his current run on Bat-books NIGHTWING, BIRDS OF PREY, ROBIN, and the upcoming JOKER: LAST LAUGH company-wide crossover, Dixon will begin with CrossGen as of March 1, however, it is still undetermined as to what exactly projects he will tackle.
"Chuck is a talent that we couldn't pass up," said CrossGen Publisher Mark Alessi. "He's a consummate professional that will fit perfectly into our studio system. He's a hard-working family man who can handle multiple titles and knows what it takes to be successful. That's the type of person we want on our winning team. When someone like this becomes available, you have to act. Right now we are unsure what he'll be writing, but when it is determined, you can bet it will be on par with the best stuff in comics."
Unlike most interstate travel, Dixon's move to Tampa places him among friends. Over the course of his 15 year career, the writer has worked with such CrossGen staff members as Greg Land, Drew Geraci, Butch Guice, Scot Eaton, and Ron Marz.
"Coming to CrossGen is something of a homecoming," Dixon said. "I've worked with a bunch of the guys there before, but it'll be exciting to work with them face-to-face now instead of via the phone or email. My biggest concern is how I'll make fun of this press release on my web site. It's easy when it's someone else, but this time it's me!"
