Duane Swierczynski -- his last name sounds just like it's spelled -- has written nine novels (an even dozen if you include the three he wrote with Anthony Zuiker), half a dozen non-fiction books, and far too many comic books to count, including Godzilla, Judge Dredd, Bloodshot, X, and Ex-Con. His latest novel, CANARY, and his latest comic book project, THE BLACK HOOD, are both set in his hometown of Philadelphia.
