Garth Ennis Biography

Garth Ennis is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on January 16, 1970 in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. Garth Ennis (born 16 January 1970) is a Northern Irish-born American comics writer famous for the Vertigo series Preacher alongside creator Steve Dillon and his nine- year period of the Marvel Comics’ Punisher franchise. He has worked with artists including Dillon as well as Glenn Fabry on Preacher, John McCrea on Hitman, Marc Silvestri on The Darkness as well as Carlos Ezquerra on both Preacher and Hitman.

Ennis the most significant work he has done to up to date is the epic Preacher that he collaborated on with illustrator Steve Dillon. The series ran from 1995 until 2000, it told the story about a preacher with supernatural powers, who is searching (literally) in search of God who has left his work. Combining influences from western films and themes of religion the film received praise from Ennis from all parts of the media. The Guardian newspaper named as one of the Preacher collections as its weekly book of the week and director Kevin Smith described it as “More fun than going to the movies.”

His work has won him a good deal of recognition in the comics industry, including nominations for the Comics Buyer’s Guide Award for Favorite Writer in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000. Ennis is also known for his lack of fondness for superhero stories and characters, the dominant style of the American comic book industry. He prefers more “grounded” characters such as the Punisher, John Constantine, or Nick Fury. An avid reader of British war comics during his formative years, Ennis did not read superhero comics until his late teens, at which point he found them ridiculous. He has stated : “I find most superhero stories completely meaningless. Which is not to say I don’t think there’s potential for the genre – Alan Moore and Warren Ellis have both done interesting work with the notion of what it might be like to be and think beyond human, see Miracleman, Watchmen and Supergod. But so long as the industry is geared towards fulfilling audience demand – ie, for the same brightly coloured characters doing the same thing forever – you’re never going to see any real growth. The stories can’t end, so they’ll never mean anything.” As a World War II aficionado, he finds characters like Captain America “borderline offensive, because to me the reality of World War II was very human people, ordinary flesh-and-blood guys who slogged it out in miserable, flooded foxholes. So adding some fantasy superhero narrative, that has always annoyed me a little bit.” Although he has written a number of superhero stories, Ennis has tried to “subvert” the genre as well as he could. He does, however, like Superman and Wonder Woman. In the 1995 one-shot special Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe, Ennis has the Punisher kill every single superhero and supervillain on Earth.

Ennis shortly after began to write for Crisis’ parent publication, 2000 AD. He quickly graduated on to the title’s flagship character, Judge Dredd, taking over from original creator John Wagner for a period of several years. Ennis’s most notable Dredd stories include Muzak Killer (a pastiche of mainstream pop music), Emerald Isle (a tongue-in-cheek story set in Ennis’s native Ireland), and the twenty-part epic Judgment Day. Ennis also contributed the surreal Time Flies (with artist Philip Bond), dealing with time travel paradoxes and Nazis.

Ennis his first effort on an American comic began in 1991, when the comic’s horror title Hellblazer and wrote from 1991 until 1994. Steve Dillon became the regular artist in the second half of his run. The creative partnership formed was later used to develop Preacher. Between 1993 and 1995, Ennis as well as John McCrea worked on another DC title, The Demon, during which they introduced the super-powered Contract Killer Tommy Monaghan, also known as Hitman and whose own show allowed their creative collaboration to continue even after The Demon ended. In the final months of the first Hellblazer series, Ennis and Dillon collaborated in a single-shot titled Heartland that explored one of the characters that were secondary to of their story. A few years later, Ennis briefly returned for the five-part Son of Man story with artist John Higgins.

Ennis started his comic-writing career in 1989 when he wrote the comic series Troubled Souls. The series was featured in the short-lived but critically well-received British collection Crisis as illustrated with John McCrea, it told the tale of a young politically-minded Protestant man who is caught by fate in the savagery of the Irish Troubles. The book was followed by a sequel For a Few Troubles More A broad Belfast-based comedy with two of the character of Troubled Souls, Dougie and Ivor and Ivor, who would later receive an very own American comics collection, Dicks, from Caliber in 1997, and a number of sequels from Avatar. Ennis was later dissatisfied with his debut novel and described it as “the kind of thing that was doing well at the time. (…) With hindsight, what Troubled Souls really represented was naked ambition. It was a direct attempt to get published. And that was the road that seemed most likely to lead me to success”.

Another story that was produced for Crisis that was released in the year 2000 is True Faith, a religious comedy based on his childhood and illustrated by Warren Pleece. Similar to both Troubles stories, it was published in a graphic novel by 1990, however religious protests resulted in it being swiftly removed from the market, presumably at the direction of Publisher Robert Maxwell. The book was later republished on the 27th of September 1997 Vertigo.

While Preacher was running, Ennis began a series set in the DC universe called Hitman. Despite being lower profile than Preacher, Hitman ran for 60 issues (plus specials) from 1996 to 2001, veering wildly from violent action to humor to an examination of male friendship under fire.
