Michael Moccio – Editor

I'm a freelance comic book editor whose credits include international best-seller R.L. Stine's graphic novel series Just Beyond, Emmy Award-winning Pat McHale's (Over the Garden Wall) graphic novel Bags (or a Story Thereof). I've worked on a range of titles from YA to MG to adult and everything in between!

I'm passionate about helping creators hone their storylines while keeping in mind elements the book market and comic market love to see! I enjoy working with creators on anything queer, fantasy, or romance and can especially help prose writers learn the ins-and-outs of comic scripting.

I generally like to go through your materials, then provide an email outlining comments, questions, and feedback, before hopping on a call to brainstorm solutions and game plan next steps.

TESTIMONIALS:

"Working with Mike on Bags (Or a Story Thereof) and the Over the Garden Wall comics was a wonderful experience. He has a keen eye for details, good judgement, and was easy to communicate with through the process. I'm very proud of the comics we made together."

"As someone who’s worked with him on licensed properties as well as creator-owned originals, I cannot stress the value of having an editor like Mike M. on your team. His mind is on short term and long term challenges, and his eye is on the work as both discerning credit and everlasting fan. While I may be known for writing and drawing comics, I’ve also done Mike’s believe me when I say: you wanna work with this guy."
