Troy Hickman is an American comic book writer. He received two Eisner Award nominations for Common Grounds and in 2008 was one of the winners of the Top Cow Pilot Season competition for his comic, Twilight Guardian.

Biography Hickman spent a decade in independent comics before getting his break with Top Cow where he wrote Common Grounds, a series that looked at superheroes gathered in a coffee shop.

It was revealed at the 2009 Comicon International that Common Grounds had been picked up by Starz Media for a television series.
