Van Allen Plexico stands at the forefront of the pulp revival movement and the new wave of prose superhero fiction.  His groundbreaking series of “Sentinels” original superhero novels (from Swarm Press and White Rocket Books) has garnered a wide and enthusiastic audience.

He has also written sword-and-sorcery (“Gideon Cain,” co-created with Kurt Busiek), retro-SF (“Mars McCoy,” co-created with Ron Fortier), classic mystery (in “Sherlock Holmes – Consulting Detective, Vol. 1”), and 1930s air combat (in “Lance Star - Sky Ranger, Vol. 2”), all from Airship 27 Productions. His modern SF novel, “Lucian: Dark God’s Homecoming," has been compared to the work of Jack Vance and Roger Zelazny.

The “Assembled!” books he created and edited for White Rocket, about Marvel’s “Avengers” comics, have raised thousands of dollars for charity and garnered praise from the original creators themselves.

His short stories, commentary and non-fiction articles have been published by “A Thousand Faces” Quarterly, Rittenhouse Archives, and Adamant Entertainment, and he is a semi-regular contributor to the pop-culture site RevolutionSF.com.  

In his spare time he serves as Assistant Prof. of Political Science and History at Southwestern Illinois College, near St. Louis.
