Shane McCarthy presently resides in Perth, Western Australia, officially one of the top ten most furtherest away from everywhere places on the planet.

Shane is a freelance writer whose work has been published internationally by DC Comics, Marvel Comics and IDW to name a few.  Over the years he has written Batman Legends of the Dark Knight, Detective Comics (starring Batman), Dark X-Men, Daredevil, Star Wars, Deadpool Team Up, and Transformers: All Hail Megatron.

Shane was born in remote country Victoria (specifically in the middle of nowhere) and found his passion for writing, reading and comic books as a means to distract himself from the day to day of looking at trees.

When not delving into the topsy turvy world of comics, Shane (also a professional dancer) can be found teaching and dancing the Lindy Hop all around the world.
