Cullen Bunn is an American comics writer, novelist, and short story author whose prolific output spans mainstream superhero titles and deeply personal creator-owned work. His birthdate and birthplace are not documented in available sources.
The Sixth Gun #1 (2011)
Bunn broke into comics around 2006 and built an impressive body of work over the following two decades, accumulating credits on more than 500 issues by 2025. At Marvel Comics he took on high-profile assignments including Venom, X-Men: Blue, and Uncanny X-Men, demonstrating a facility with dark, psychologically complex characters that made him a natural fit for morally ambiguous corners of the superhero universe. His DC work included a notable run on Sinestro.
Superman / Batman #81 (2011)
It is his creator-owned projects, however, that most clearly define his voice. The Sixth Gun, published by Oni Press, became one of his signature achievements, blending weird Western mythology with supernatural horror. He revisited Oni for The Damned, another horror-inflected series, while Dark Horse Comics published Harrow County, a Southern Gothic tale that drew considerable critical attention and showcased his gift for atmospheric, folklore-rooted storytelling.
Superman / Batman #82 (2011)
Beyond comics, Bunn has extended his horror sensibilities into prose, authoring the middle-grade novel Crooked Hills and the short story collection Creeping Stones & Other Stories. No major awards are documented in the available source material. His sustained presence across both corporate and independent publishing marks him as one of the more versatile genre storytellers working in contemporary comics.
