Michael W. Conrad has often been described as “a gin soaked monster”, which is a lie, that was how Hemingway’s son described his father. Based on this, we can ascertain that Conrad is a liar, which is a fine way to describe a writer.

While Conrad laments the fact that his art is indeed a commodity, he revels in the high strangeness that has afforded him the opportunity to contribute to the legacies of many characters y’all know including: Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Godzilla, Nightwing, Doom Patrol, and countless others.

Michael’s own work has been markedly more subversive, including Tremor Dose and Double Walker. These books explore an absurd and often surreal anxiety, with a focus on an inability to reconcile one's own perceptions. With a number of creator owned projects currently in development, one can only imagine that these explorations will continue in future work.

Conrad remains critical of himself, and often feels like an imposter, but as his contributions to comics grow, one can only imagine that such ideations are rapidly being replaced with dread.
