Biography



Early life


Dan Brereton attended the California College of the Arts and the Academy of Art College.[1] He stated in a 2014 interview that "One of earliest memories of drawing monsters is from kindergarten. Our teacher asked us one afternoon what we wanted to do with the hour we had left in class and I yelled out, 'Let’s draw monsters!'...So to my mind, anyway, monsters are the purest product of our imaginations, whether they be good or bad or just plain wild. That idea never ceases to inspire me and find its way into my work."[3]

His first published work in the comics industry was the story "Lost Causes Chapter 1" in Merchants of Death #1 (July 1988) published by Eclipse Comics[4] and he painted the Black Terror limited series in 1989–1990.[5] Brereton gained further attention for his work on Batman: Thrillkiller,[6] Superman and Batman: Legends of the World's Finest, and JLA: Seven Caskets,[7] His most famous work is his own series "The Nocturnals."[2]
