- After receiving his Master's from the University of Chicago, Aaron began pursuing writing as a vocation. His enormous appetite for stories was fed copiously as an undergrad at Saint Mary's College of California where he read The Great Books and translated Ancient Greek literature. It was there that Aaron began to seriously consider the nature of stories and the ideas behind them. The ancient Greek tragedies and 19th century science fiction are huge influences on his writing.
Aaron is best known for writing graphic novels, including Arcana Studio's critically-acclaimed Marlow (with art by Dario Carrasco, Jr and Mathew Reynolds) and Kid Lightspeed & the Neutron Women, published by Digital Webbing Presents.
Nelson has also written on pop culture, including the essay "Simulating Terror" in PopSmart's critical anthology "Jack Bauer for President". He frequently contributes articles for Stateless Media, and has also published poetry and has edited and appeared in a number of comic book anthologies.
Aaron lives with his wife and four daughters in the tiny Gold Country town of Shingle Springs, California.- IMDb Mini Biography By: aaronthomasnelson.com
