About

I'm Nick Marino. I write comics.

While I'm toiling away on a top secret five issue crossover and waiting to have my pitch selected for a graphic novel that's tied to an upcoming movie, my most recent work in shops is the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Halloween Special. I wrote a Trini story called Candy Cornered featuring action-packed art by Juan Romera.

My previous work includes writing Godzilla Rivals: Biollante vs. Destoroyah for IDW, collected in Godzilla Rivals: Round Two. Before that I worked on the Transformers: Beast Wars Annual, writing a Beast Machines campfire story called The Morphlings.

During the LA wildfires, I contributed to the Eisner-winning LA Strong benefit anthology. The year before that, I helped out as a color assistant on Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp featuring a stupendous script by Rosie Knight, amazing art by Oliver Ono, and lush letters by Jodie Troutman.

I've been honored to have my work featured on sites including Adventures in Poor Taste, WWAC, Comic Book Resources, ComicBook.com, Graphic Policy, Multiversity, Comics Alliance, A Place to Hang Your Cape, Critiquing Comics, and many more. I've also been writing for The Beat, Den of Geek, and Comics Courier.

Godzilla Rivals: Round Two by Nick Marino

My weird webcomics with artist Nils-Petter Norlin include KUTE Crew, a talking animals adventure about questioning authority and forging unexpected alliances, and The Evil Life, about defining our own futures and rejecting labels assigned by others.

My bonkers comic books with Daniel Arruda Massa include an outrageous duology called Holy F*ck and Holy F*cked, as well as another miniseries called Cougar and Cub and a zine called Teenage Mutant Ninja Pizza.

Over the past two decades, I've produced many other webcomics and minicomics including Stick Cats, Time Log, and Get Stuffed. Most of those stories are available for free here on my site as PDFs, along with many of my other comics and zines.

I live in Los Angeles. Before that it was Long Beach and before that it was Pittsburgh and before that it was a ton of other places. I don't have a hometown! If you've got an extra one to spare, lemme know.

If you want to contact me, I need to ask... are you sure you've got the right Nick Marino? There are lots of us out there, even Google gets us confused. I'm the author who makes comics. If that's the one you want, email me at nickmarino@gmail.com.
