The Team
Ernie Altbacker
The Writer
An Emmy nominated writer with over 30 years of experience, Ernie Altbacker has written for both animated (Green Lantern: The Animated Series, Mucha Lucha, Niko and the Sword of Light) and live action TV (Spooksville) as well as animated features (Batman: Hush, Injustice, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War) and live action movies (An Angel on Abbey Street, D*cks – how’s that for contrast? – and The Blue Light; where he had the honor of writing for and directing Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine).
Altbacker also—good God, this is unwieldy!—I also wrote a six book middle grade series, Shark Wars, published by Penguin Books, which sold over 400,000 copies and was translated into a few languages. The only reason I tell you that last part is so I can include the gorgeous Mitsuhiro Arita covers in my collage of credits.

Josh White
The Artist
Josh is a multiple award-winning artist who has been illustrating book covers, children’s books, publications, storyboards, and trading cards for decades.
By day Josh runs an award-winning web development and graphic design studio, providing branding identity development, website design, trade show solutions, and marketing to various private and corporate clients.
By night Josh feverishly draws original and fan art, teaming up with other like-minded artists when he can. Doing Area 51 Studios with Ernie Altbacker is a great opportunity to co-create a new comic and (hopefully) learn the ins and outs of crowd funding.
