Best known for his critically acclaimed and oft-reprinted work on DC Comics' Scooby-Doo, Terrance Griep has left his distinct mark on such icons Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern for that same company, as well. He also contributes to numerous titles for Image Comics. Further, Terrance has scribed his own super-hero creations, The Skulker and Johnny Cosmic, both of whom have enjoyed success at various publishers.

For General Mills, Terrance has written several comic strips which featured BuzzBee, the Honey Nut Cheerios mascot. That work was ingested by tens of millions of bleary-eyed readers, appearing in places as varied as cereal boxes and theme park place mats. Terrance also regularly and recklessly ventures into the realm of writing words without pictures. He's worked as a reporter, reviewer, and columnist for a myriad of newspapers and magazines, most notably OUT, The Advocate, Instinct and Star Trek Monthly.
Terrance has written, directed, produced, and performed a series of regular radio plays which were heard in twenty different markets, ranging from San Diego to Toronto to New York. The International Gay Outdoors Organization named him one of the Nine Toughest Gay Guys in America. For precisely one day, he served as Crunch, the Minnesota Timberwolves' lupine mascot. His hobby is working.
The interviewer, KRIS BRANTNER is currently a student in the Writing Studies program at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Kris knew from the age of seven that they would be a writer to share the magic unique to a good story. They have been referred to as a creative soul and exercise that creativity as much as possible, from painting, drawing, writing, and performing. Fiction writing resonates the most with Kris and is generally what they do in their free time.
