Sean Murphy
Murphy is an American comic book creator known for work on books such as Punk Rock Jesus, The Wake, Joe the Barbarian, Chrononauts, Tokyo Ghost and Batman: White Knight. While Sean Murphy may be on the artist side of the bracket, if the tournament was based on who could both write AND draw the best, Murphy should come out on top. Do yourself a favor and read a Batman: White Knight or a Punk Rock Jesus.
