Mike Wolfer is a comic book writer and artist. Wolfer was a huge fan of horror and comics as a child, and after high school he attended The Kubert School for two years.

He started his career in 1987 by forming his own publishing company, Ground Zero Comics, and self-published "Daikazu" (8 issues) and "Daikazu Vs. Gugoron" (3 issues).

In 1992, Wolfer began publishing "Widow," an erotic horror title which ran a total of 14 issues, through various mini-series: "Widow: Flesh And Blood," "Widow: Kill Me Again," "Widow: Metal Gypsies," and "Widow: Bound By Blood." Simultaneously, Wolfer began freelancing with other companies such as Dark Horse Comics ("Dark Horse Presents," "Godzilla"), London Night Studios ("Razor"), Chaos! Comics ("Lady Death Swimsuit/Lingerie"), Revisionary Press, and others.

As they formed their initial line-up of comics in 1996, new publisher Avatar Press incorporated "Widow" into their line-up and began reprinting the old Ground Zero Comics work as "Widow X," while also publishing new Widow material.

Wolfer soon began writing and illustrating many of Avatar's most popular titles, collaborating with many renowned writers including Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis and Alan Moore. He has worked on horror titles such as "Night of the Living Dead," "Friday the 13th," and "Escape of the Living Dead." His work on supernatural tales continued with his writing credits on Warren Ellis' many "Gravel" comics, and Garth Ennis' "Stitched," both of which he also illustrated. Wolfer assumed scripting "Stitched" in September 2012, writing issues #8-19, which were illustrated by Fernando Furukawa. In 2013, he illustrated the four-issue "Skin Trade," the comic adaptation of the George R.R. Martin werewolf epic. He has also worked for Avatar's sister company, Boundless Comics, where he wrote both Brian Pulido's "Lady Death" and "War Goddess."
