Born in 1953, James Vance did not enter the comic book industry until he was 35, when Kitchen Sink published his comic book Kings in Disguise. The series earned a Harvey Award and an Eisner Award for best new series in 1989, and a second Eisner for best single issue or story.
Vance wrote Neil Gaiman’s Mr. Hero the Newmatic Man for Tekno Comix in the mid-'90s. He has contributed scripts for several Batman and The Crow comics, and for Dark Horse Comics’ Aliens and Predator lines.
Vance is also a playwright, and has won several national awards in that industry.

The reprint of Kings in Disguise was one of the first graphic novels I reviewed. It's a great book that fits in perfectly with today's crop of GNs, showing just how ahead of its time it was.

Amen to that. When I have a cable show, I'll call them "The Essentials."
