Winick was born on 12 February 1970 into an ethnically Jewish family and was raised in Dix Hills in New York. In his early years, Winick first read comics about superheroes however, this changed after the graphic novel Why I Hate Saturn, which Winick admitted in an interview with the magazine that he is still reading once every year. Winick also mentions Bloom County: Loose Tails by Berke Breathed as the initial collection of the strip that transformed his life. It led him to devote the next 10 months “horribly aping” Breathed’s style.

In August 1994, Zamora’s health started to fall. After being admitted to the hospital and being discharged, he contacted Winick to be his substitute in an national AIDS education program. When Zamora passed away on November 11 in 1994 Winick along with Ling were by his bedside. Winick continued Zamora’s education work until a time following his death.

After appearing on The Real World, Winick and his former costar, Pam Ling, began to date. Winick proposed to her with a cartoon he made for the occasion, and which he presented to her while wearing a gorilla suit. The cartoon presented Ling with two choices to answer his proposal.

As of 2008, they have two children, a son and a daughter, whom they work to keep out of the spotlight, preferring to omit photos of them from social media, and publications who interview the couple to omit their names.

Winick’s work in mainstream superhero comics received attention for storylines in which he explores gay or AIDS-oriented themes. In his first regular writing assignment on a monthly superhero comic book, DC Comics’ Green Lantern, Winick wrote a storyline in which Terry Berg, an assistant of the title character, emerged as a gay character in Green Lantern #137 (June 2001) and in Green Lantern #154 (November 2002) the story entitled “Hate Crime” gained media recognition when Terry was brutally beaten in a homophobic attack. Winick was interviewed on Phil Donahue’s show on MSNBC for that storyline on August 15, 2002, and received two more GLAAD awards for his Green Lantern work.

After graduating, Winick lived in an apartment in Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts along with fellow writer Brad Meltzer, struggling to make Nuts and Bolts for UPS and while working in the bookstore. On January 1st 1993, UPS decided not to renew the Winick’s strip to distribution, believing that it would not compete in the market. Winick could not get syndication from a different company and had to return home with his parents in around the midpoint of 1993. performing unfulfilling T-shirt design to beer businesses.
