Rick Spears is an American comic book writer, best known for Teenagers from Mars and The Pirates of Coney Island.
Both Spears and his main collaborator Rob G. grew up in Richmond, Virginia, although they first met only after moving to New York City:
[We] have lived sort of parallel lives. We're from the same place, went to the same college and have a bunch of the same friends but we never met until we both moved to Brooklyn.[1]
In 2001, Spears and Rob G. began self-publishing their debut series Teenagers from Mars.[2][1] In 2003, the pair produced a short Batman story for DC Comics. Upon completing Teenagers from Mars, they formed Gigantic Graphic Novels to collect the issues and release their first graphic novel, Dead West, following up with the 5-issue mini-seies Repo, published by Image Comics.[3][4] Other work from Spears includes the Black Metal trilogy of graphic novels with artist Chuck BB, a variety of short stories for Marvel and the graphic novel adaptation of the film Jennifer's Body.[5]
