Micah Ian Wright

Micah Ian Wright (born 1969) is a Native American writer whose career spans comics, animation, video games, and television. He began in the industry as an intern at Nickelodeon, eventually becoming a staff writer on *The Angry Beavers*, where he formed a long-running creative partnership with Jay Lender. Wright entered comics in the early 2000s, writing the short-lived *Stormwatch: Team Achilles* and its tie-in *Coup D'etat: StormWatch*. He gained wider notice for his anti-war satire posters, collected in the book *You Back the Attack, We'll Bomb Who We Want*. After some professional setbacks, he pivoted to video games, co-writing *Destroy All Humans!* and *Robocalypse* with Lender. A member of the Writers Guild of America West, Wright chaired the Video Game Writers Caucus and helped establish the Guild’s first Video Game Writing Award in 2007; he also co-founded the WGA’s Native American and World Indigenous Writers Committee. In 2015, he crowdfunded the WWII graphic novel *Duster* on Kickstarter, and later consulted on the virtual reality project *TheBlu*, leading to a teaching role in VR filmmaking. He co-directed the horror comedy *They’re Watching* (2016) and served as Chief Content Manager for First Nations Experience from 2017 to 2019, overseeing its first original programming.
