Darick Robertson is the co-creator of Transmetropolitan. After 20 years in the industry he can easily be considered a seasoned veteran of comics, having worked for Marvel, DC, Vertigo, and a few now defunct companies, such as Malibu Comics (where he co-created and designed the Nightman, and wrote and created Ripfire), Acclaim, Eclipse and Innovation. His career started just out of Aragon high school in San Mateo, California when he was 17. He created, wrote drew and painted covers for "Space Beaver" which became the only title published by Tibor Sardy's Ten Buck Comics.

Space Beaver, (as laughable as it was from the title alone), enabled Darick to learn the ropes of the comic book business and at 21 he broke into the mainstream with his work on Justice League for DC Comics. From there he went on to work for Marvel on Wolverine, Spider-man and most notably the New Warriors; A two year run with Fabian Nicieza, who in his own way was partially responsible for bringing Darick and Warren together on the project for Acclaim comics "The Man Of The Atom", which lead Warren to choose Darick as his co-creator for Transmetropolitan. Transmetropolitan came about as a meeting of the minds for Darick and Warren.

Warren wanted somebody with his own sick sensibilities and desire to shake up the current medium of comics, and tapped Darick Robertson as the artist to fit that bill, and welcomed him as Co-Creator. Transmetropolitan was originally a title for the now dead "Helix" line, DC's and Stuart Moore's hope for a line of science fiction comics. Though the line died, Transmet survived and was adopted by Vertigo comics, where it survived it's highly successful, critically acclaimed 60 issue run and concluded in 2002, and was hailed by WIRED magazine as "The Graphic Novel of the Decade". Notable fans of Transmetropolitan include legendary actor Patrick Stewart, Oscar nominated performer Robin Williams and critically acclaimed writer and director Darren Aronofsky.

In 2002 his projects included the launch of the Marvel Max line with the title "Fury" written by Garth Ennis, which Rolling Stone magazine picked as the "cool comic of the year". Also in 2002 was Spiderman: Sweet Charity written by TV veteran Ron Zimmerman.

In May of 2002 Robertson went exclusive with Marvel comics and was picked to relaunch one of their flagship characters WOLVERINE, with writer Greg Rucka. He followed it with the critically acclaimed "Punisher: BORN" mini series with Garth Ennis and the first solo Nightcrawler series with play-write Roberto Aguirre Sacasa. In 2006 Darick resigned from his exclusivity at Marvel to do a new creator owned series with longtime friend and collaborator Garth Ennis entitled "the Boys". DC/Wildstorm comics offered an exclusive contract to keep him tied down while he creates the first ongoing series for which he will design, pencil, ink and create the covers.

Raised in San Mateo in the San Francisco Bay Area, Darick currently lives in Napa, California with his wife Meredith and sons Owen and Andrew. When he's not drawing comics, which is almost all the time, he creates custom action figures, writes music, sings and plays guitar. (Don't worry folks, he's not offering a CD.)
