MEDIA, Pa. — Penn State Brandywine will host a multiple Harvey Award-winning writer and creator of graphic novels at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 30, in the Lion’s Den.

Bryan J.L. Glass, the co-creator and writer of “The Mice Templar” from Image Comics and “Furious” from Dark Horse Comics, will speak at Penn State Brandywine about his creative process and career as a graphic novel writer. Audience members are encouraged to take part in a Q&A segment, and the first 10 participants will receive a free copy of “Furious” or “The Mice Templar.”

Glass is also a contributor to DC Comics' “Adventures of Superman.” His Marvel Comics credentials include “Thor: Crown Of Fools,” “First Thunder” and “Valkyrie,” as well as adapting “Magician,” “The Riftwar Saga” and “Cirque Du Soleil's Kà.” His special projects include “Thor: Son Of Asgard,” a video game, and “Thor: Valor” for Burger King's Kids Club.

His first work in the comic industry was in the role of photographer, providing photo covers and interiors to such 1980s series as “The Elementals,” “Mage” and “Punisher Armory.” His earliest writing projects in the 1990s were “Spandex Tights” and “Ship Of Fools.” After a brief hiatus from the industry, Glass returned in 2003 with his first “Mice Templar” short stories, followed by “Quixote: A Novel” and “86 Voltz: The Dead Girl.”
