- Novelist and award-winning science writer Carl A. Posey is the author of six published novels, a number of non-fiction books, and dozens of magazine articles, most of them about science and aviation. A talented natural cartoonist, he had expected as a young man to make his way by writing and drawing comic strips, but instead turned to the novel and magazine journalism. But he wasn't through with graphic storytelling. In 1995, DC Comics published The Big Book of Weirdos, "by Carl Posey and 67 of the world's top comic artists."Now, when asked what he does for a living, he likes to use the Victorian term: writer of all work.
