Joshua Fialkov
Edit Profile
Education
He attended college at Emerson in Boston, Master of Arts where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in writing and directing.
Career
He is best known for Echoes, Elk"s Run, I, Vampire, and the 2008 film Infected. He has been nominated for multiple Harvey Awards. After working in film in Boston, he moved to Los Angeles in 2001.
In late 2013, Fialkov started to write a new webcomic series The Bunker with artist Joe Infurnari, which received positive reactions and was picked up by Oni Press to turn the series into a traditional printed format starting from February 2014.
The publisher also picked up another pitch from Fialkov and a rookie artist Gabo, Saint Jude and The Life After, which debuted in July 2014 as The Life After and was also critically praised. Following the breakthrough success of two independent series, because of the resulting increased workflow, his own illness in late July, and possibly low sales of the series itself, Fialkov dropped out of Ultimate FF, leaving the series cancelled midway through the current arc.
Outside the comics realm, in 2008, his success in comics led to his selection as lead writer and executive producer for the LG15: The Resistance web series, based on the lonelygirl15 franchise.
