Raven Gregory was born and raised in Arizona. Growing up in a place where the temperatures rise past 115 degrees on a regular basis, he had no other choice than to choose an occupation where he might stay in his air conditioned house and never have to deal with the blistering heat that lies outside his door so he began writing comics. His first published title, THE GIFT, became a smash success at Image Comics. He has written numerous other titles including SE7EN: Gluttony, Dead at 17, Western Tales of Terror. He currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his two sons Jaylon and Donavin, his daughter Athena and a dog named Wacko.
