Biography

Charles Christensen, better known by his nickname "Zan", is best known in comics circles as the founding President of Prism Comics.

Prism Comics was formed when a group of gay comics fans and professionals got together and decided to take their passion for the medium and work to level the playing field for other queer comics creators. Only in its fifth year as an officially incorporated nonprofit organization, Prism Comics has surpassed all expectations and become a force for positive change in the industry.

In addition to his work with Prism, Zan has been writing comics scripts and occasionally releasing a self-published book or two. His creations include the closeted 1940s super-hero Captain Kinetic and the slice-of-life comedy/drama One Man Guy.

His most recent comics project is a collaboration with artist Mark Brill called The Mark of Aeacus. The series focuses on a troubled young man who is given an extraordinary power, and explores the overlap between vengeance, punishment and justice. The first issue has been completed and was previewed at 2007's Emerald City Comic-Con, and has been picked up by publisher Class Comics and published that September.
