Biography

Dunn was born in Taiwan, and grew up in Taiwan,[2] Kentucky, and San Antonio, Texas, where he graduated from Central Catholic Marianist High School.[2] It was in Taiwan that he was first exposed to Japanese manga.[2]

In 1984 he co-founded Antarctic Press,[2] an American comic book company specializing in manga-style (Amerimanga) titles. His most notable creations for Antarctic are the comic book series Ninja High School and Warrior Nun Areala.[2]

In 2003, Dunn sold his portion of Antarctic Press to start his own development company, Sentai Studios. After a couple of years he closed Sentai and returned to Antarctic.[3]

Dunn was one of the primary artists involved in the short-lived Marvel Mangaverse project. He also worked as an animator for the science-fiction film A Scanner Darkly.[4]

In 2016, Art Greenhaw began creating, editing and writing faith-based visual novels and comic books, starting with the book series God's Silver Soldiers,[5] also known as Silver Soldiers: The Comic and followed by Tales of Nazareth: The Boyhood of Jesus.[6] The comic books, under the imprint of Truthmonger Comics Group Publishing, have achieved acclaim for their action-oriented innovation in illustrations by Dunn, as well as their storylines, and they have been covered in the media by TV channels, newspapers, and faith-based, nationally syndicated radio.[7]

In 2019, Dunn created the Coalition of Independent Comic Publishers.[8]

Personal life

Dunn lives in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex with his wife and two children.
