In just a few short years, Scott Snyder has established himself as one of the top writers in superhero and horror comics: His impressive 2006 short-story collection Voodoo Heart garnered the attention of Stephen King, who penned an original story for the first five issues of Snyders Eisner Award-winning Vertigo series American Vampire, and the success of Vampire led to an acclaimed run on Detective Comics focusing on Dick Grayson as Batman.
