Alex Woolfson

Alex Woolfson is an American comics writer and publisher, known for his graphic novels Artifice (with illustrator Winona Nelson) and The Young Protectors (with Adam DeKraker and Veronica Gandini), and his Young Protectors Webcomics site. Woolfson is openly gay.

Biography Woolfson grew up in Vermont, and pursued playwriting in college. After moving to the San Francisco Bay Area and making a short film – he also works as a video editor – he turned his attention to writing comics, as a more practical medium for him to be able to tell the stories he wanted to write. His first comic was titled "A Shot in the Dark", which Woolfson describes as a "magic school rescue story". The book was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Graphic Novel in 2014.

Woolfson followed up on this in 2012 by beginning The Young Protectors, an ongoing superhero story illustrated by Adam DeKraker, with colors by Veronica Gandini (a 2011 Harvey Award nominee).
