Transcription

Early life

Kindt was born in 1973 in Cheektowaga, New York and currently resides in Webster Groves, Missouri. He worked in the local mini-comics scene from a young age, self-publishing his own copyshop zines since 1990. In 1995 he obtained a degree in art from Webster University in St. Louis.[2]

Career

Kindt has stated that he creates comic books because he enjoys the "magical" effect created by the combination of words and pictures. His target audience for his books are his wife and daughter, who did not grow up enjoying comics as he did.[3]

In 2001, Top Shelf Productions published Pistolwhip, which Kindt created with Jason Hall. The book was critically well-received, nominated for the prestigious Harvey Award the next year, and featured in Time Magazine's Top 10 list for Graphic Novels.[4] He has illustrated two Pistolwhip spin-offs (Mephisto and the Empty Box and Pistolwhip 2) and written his own, 300-page graphic novel, Two Sisters, as well as maintaining a regular webcomic set in the Sisters universe, called Super Spy.[5][6] In 2006, Kindt announced on his blog that he would be writing an experimental novel called The End of the World. The book has been completed, but Kindt now plans to adapt it into a graphic novel.[7] In 2007, the collected Super Spy was published by Top Shelf. 2008 saw the collected Super Spy nominated for the Eisner Award for Best Graphic Novel: Reprint. In March 2010, a Super Spy short story appeared on Dark Horse's Dark Horse Presents MySpace web comic.[8] Kindt released Revolver in 2010, published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. His ongoing series MIND MGMT, Pastaways, and Dept. H were released by Dark Horse Comics.[9][10]

He published 5-issue fantasy series Folklords, illustrated by Matt Smith, in 2020.[11]

In 2021, Kindt partnered with actor Keanu Reeves and artist Ron Garney to create BRZRKR through Boom! Studios. The book's release received wide media coverage and became the highest-ordered monthly comic book in the Direct Market since 1991.[12]
