David Avallone is a freelancer from a long line of freelancers, born to a pulp fiction writer (Michael Avallone) and a women’s rights activist (Frances Avallone).

Since graduating from Bard College in 1987, David has been involved primarily in independent film production (as a writer, editor, director, producer, actor, etc.). Still, in 2014, he branched into comic book writing, mainly with Dynamite Comics. With them, he’s written LEGENDERRY: VAMPIRELLA, TWILIGHT ZONE: THE SHADOW, DOC SAVAGE: RING OF FIRE, BETTIE PAGE, and ELVIRA: MISTRESS OF THE DARK. For American Mythology, he’s written ZORRO: SWORDS OF BLOOD, and for Kevin Eastman Studios, he’s writing DRAWING BLOOD and THE RADICALLY REARRANGED RONIN RAGDOLLS.

He lives in Hollywood, California, with his delightful wife Augusta, aka filmmaker, costumer, burlesque icon Penny Starr, Jr., and three cats who may or may not be secretly radically rearranged.
