Dean Hsieh

Dean Hsieh is an American musician, writer, and artist/animator.

Hsieh began his career in comics when he was only sixteen and still in high school. After writing a negative letter to Revolutionary Comics's Rock 'N' Roll Comics, he was hired by the fledgling company to "produce comics and stories that reflected the hard edge of rock 'n' roll." He wrote and drew several stories featuring bands such Guns 'N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Metallica, Rolling Stones, and AC/DC.

While in college, he met fellow aspiring comic artist Will Allison and struck a friendship based on their mutual love of manga and anime. Hsieh began working on a new comic, Athena, which was originally featured in Antarctic Press's short-lived anthology series Absolute Zero. Hsieh and Allison decided to start their own independent comic company, A.M.Works, in order to publish their creator-owned series Athena and Pervert Club. Hsieh's Athena, described as "full of intriguing situations and neat near-future science fiction," ran for fourteen issues and was collected into two graphic novels

Antarctic Press released his next comic Westside which was a three-issue full-color mini-series. A special edition of the first issue comes with a CD soundtrack.

In December 2008, Hsieh's entry Devil's Wake (originally titled Aeon of the Dead) won the monthly online contest sponsored by Zuda Comics, DC Comic's web comic imprint. The full-color comic is written and digitally painted by Hsieh and ran for sixty pages on Zuda's website. Devil's Wake is available in digital format through the publishing website comiXology.
