DAVID M. BOOHER grew up in a small Ohio town reading Stephen King, watching The Goonies, eating Lucky Charms in front of He-Man, trading Garbage Pail Kids, playing Nintendo, and going outside. Channeling his love for all the best 1980's sci-fi and fantasy, he has co-created and written comic series CANTO, POWERLESS, the LGBTQ-led KILLER QUEENS, ALIEN BOUNTY HUNTER, and the middle grade series TALES OF LAKE EERIE. He's also written several features. A lawyer by training, he lives in Los Angeles with his husband and the true masterminds behind their operation--their adopted greyhounds.
“Canto is not to be missed.”—The Nerdist “The creative team of Canto has found a way to portray a universe of actual darkness where the ultimate act of heroism is to find a way for a heart to be found.”—Gabriel Rodríguez, co-creator of Locke and Key “I had admittedly set some rather high expectations but I still wasn’t prepared for how hard this hit me in the feels. To have evoked so much emotion in such a short space of time is no easy feat. I’m not saying this will have you welling up, but if it doesn’t at least stir you, maybe you’ve had your heart replaced too.”—Big Comic Page “Dark and magical with a glowing heart of gold. If The Wizard of Oz and Labyrinth gave birth to a hero, it would be Canto.”—Delilah S. Dawson (Star Wars: Phasma, Marvel Action: Spider-Man) “A gorgeously illustrated epic.”—Comic Week “A comic…steadily creating a modern heroic myth.”—ComicCrusaders “The next great fantasy epic.”—Comicon.com
