Dan Brereton - Nocturnals
Dan Brereton is one of a bare handful of painters left in the
industry who still do comics full time. Just barely out of art school, Dan burst onto the
scene in 1989 with the award winning BLACK TERROR miniseries (Eclipse Comics) and
hasn't looked back since. In the last ten years, he's produced an amazingly prolific body
of work, has been nominated many times for several different industry and fan awards.
Dan lives in the Sierra Nevada mountains with his three kids
and a string of ill-fated pets. Dan's hobbies include reading crime fiction, watching
monster movies (and pretty much any other kind of movie he can get his hands on),
travelling to comic conventions, and wrangling his children by way of threats,
intimidation and candy.

What Dan Has To Say About Noctunals:
"The Nocturnals basically encompasses all the things I
love about horror, monsters, crime and things going bump in the Night. The characters were
first introduced in 1995 in a mini-series that Oni Press later collected as a trade
paperback called NOCTURNALS: BLACK PLANET ( available from amazon.com, npo.com,
onipress.com). Since then two Nocturnals one-shots have surfaced,
and the popularity of the characters continues to grow, despite the fact that the books
dont seem to fit into any commercially 'hot' category."
"This year, I'll be following up Black Planet with a new mini-series, NOCTURNALS; THE
DARK FOREVER. In addition, fans of the Nocturnals will want to check out THE GUNWITCH:
OUTSKIRTS OF DOOM, a spin-off mini-series starring two of the most popular of the
characters, the Gunwitch and Halloween Girl."
I'm very honored to have somone of Dan's
calibur featured here at House Of Pain.
