Biographyedit
Jerwa's comic book career began in 2003, when he submitted a script to Devil's Due Publishing that was accepted, and was eventually published in G.I. Joe: Frontline #11–14. Soon afterwards, he became the main writer on G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and also wrote several G.I. Joe miniseries.[4]
On May 18, 2006, Brandon was featured on episode #24 of the Game Show Network's I've Got a Secret;[5] his secret being that in honor of his work on the G.I. Joe comics, Hasbro used his face as the basis for the G.I. Joe action figure Dragonsky.[6][7]
On Free Comic Book Day 2007, Jerwa met several people affiliated with DC Comics, including Eric S. Trautmann and Greg Rucka.[4] Jerwa and Trautmann struck up a partnership and collaborated on a project called Wide Awake, which appeared first as a short story in Popgun Vol. 2, then as a Free Comic Book Day special,[10] and then later as a free webcomic.[11][12] In 2009, the duo pitched an idea for a graphic novel to DC's imprint Vertigo, which was accepted, and soon after Jerwa was contacted about working with DC directly.[4]
Jerwa's first work for DC Comics was in September 2009 as the writer of the Inferno co-feature in The Shield, a monthly series that introduced re-imagined versions of the Red Circle Comics superhero characters into the DC Universe.
In late 2009, Jerwa also wrote for a Dynamite series based on Stargate SG-1.[13]
In 2011 Jerwa raised $19,000 through the crowdfunding website Kickstarter for a comic book-themed documentary title UNTOLD TALES OF THE COMIC INDUSTRY. According to a post to the project's Kickstarter on May 1, 2021, the Kickstarter pledges began being fulfilled. The post apologetically details the project's ten-year-long delay, promising to fulfill product shipments and to provide later updates with an option for digital video download. [14]
