Max Allan Collins is a prolific crime writer and graphic novelist whose works include Road to Perdition.
 

"Frankly I consider myself a storyteller, first and foremost, and believe my greatest strength is an ability to conform to the very different demands of various media. Most novelists are bewildered by the visual needs of comics and screenwriting; working in these various forms of narrative storytelling comes naturally to me, probably because I have always been as big a fan of movies and comics as I've been of fiction."
