John Ostrander

    20 april 1949

    John Ostrander is een Amerikaanse stripauteur die bekend staat om zijn bijdragen aan series die hij mede heeft helpen creëren. Zijn vroege werk aan personages als Sargon, Mistress of War, en later aan series als Grimjack en Suicide Squad, toont zijn talent voor het creëren van complexe karakters. Voordat hij zijn carrière in strips begon, studeerde Ostrander theologie, een achtergrond die zijn diepgaande verkenningen van moraliteit en theologie informeert in titels als The Spectre, waar hij schijnbaar onhandelbare personages nieuw leven inblies door zich te concentreren op hun menselijke aspecten.
