About me:
My name is John R. Fultz, and I'm the writer/creator of PRIMORDIA, a graphic novel illustrated by artist extraordinaire Roel Wielinga and published by Archaia Comics. I also write for the horror comics CTHULHU TALES and ZOMBIE TALES, both from Boom! Studios. I've contributed short fiction to magazines such as WEIRD TALES, BLACK GATE, and others. I currently live San Jose, California, and I teach English Language Arts in Sunnyvale. Originally from Kentucky, I moved out to Cali in 1998 and I love the Golden State, where dreams are more than night-visions, they're commodities that fuel many different industries. Here in California, a writer can find inspiration, encouragement, associates, and plenty of other essentials. Whether I'm writing for comics or prose, it's all about storytelling. A good story is a good story, and my mission is to tell them.
Who I'd like to meet: Quentin Tarantino, Josh Homme, Steve Carrell, Michelle Rodriguez, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bill Maher, Henry Rollins, Frank Miller, Tanith Lee, William Gibson, David Lynch, R. Scott Bakker, Grant Morrison, Ed Brubaker, Frank Frazetta, Conan O'Brien, John Favreau, Tom Waits, Perry Farrell, Rob Zombie, Jack Black, Sasquatch, David Cross, David Chase, Cate Blanchett!, Ziyi Zhang!, Janeane Garofalo.
