Brian Posehn was born a long time ago and fell in love with comic books at a very young age. He decided to wait to write them until he was in his forties. Before embarking on a career in comic-book writing, he floated through a series of odd jobs including standup comedy, TV writing, and film and sitcom acting.

Since arriving at Marvel, he feels he's found his true calling, but will continue to do "the other crap" "for fun." Posehn's collaborations with Gerry Duggan include The Last Christmas, a Jaws parody for The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror comics, some screenplays and TV ideas you'll never see, and a baby they're raising together in the basement of a local abandoned sanitarium.
