Template:Short description Template:Infobox comics creator Deniz Camp is a Turkish-Filipino comics writer who has written for independent comics, Marvel Comics, and DC Comics. His most notable works are 20th Century Men, Children of the Vault, and The Ultimates.

Career

The first professionally published comics writing Camp did was for Millarworld Annual 2016.[1] After that, he published his first long form comic book, Maxwell's Demons, through Vault Comics in 2018.[2] It was about a child super genius, Maxwell Maas, and the alternate worlds he visited through his childhood bedroom door.[3]

In 2022, he published 20th Century Men with artist Stipan Morian and letterer Aditya Bidikar through Image Comics.[4] It earned critical praise and went on to be on the on several lists of the best comics of 2023.[5][6][7] It is "an alternate-history tale full of Avengers-style super-soldiers, genetic experiments, and patriotic figureheads in a battle for the soul of Afghanistan."[7] In addition, in 2022, he published Agent of W.O.R.L.D.E., a four-part pulp science fiction book, through Scout Comics with artist Filya Bratukhin, colorist Jason Wordie, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou,[8] and then Bloodshot Unleashed through Valiant Comics with artist Jon Davis-Hunt.[9]

In 2023, he got his first job writing for Marvel Comics, the four-issue Fall of X mini-series Children of the Vault.[10] According to Camp, "Marvel operates on a much bigger scale. It’s a universe where cosmic gods and Lovecraftian monsters are commonplace, which means I get to exercise my imagination in a different way; inventing advanced cultures and super technology, resurrecting past continuity in new ways, and imagining big action scenes that put superpowers to new and interesting use."[11]

In 2024, he was announced as the writer for The Ultimates, part of Marvel's new Ultimate Universe, with artist Juan Frigeri.[12] Per Camp, "Our Ultimates is absolutely in conversation with the original Ultimates. In some ways it’s a response to it, in others an inversion of it. [...] Where that Ultimates was channeling post-9/11 paranoia, this one is addressed to that nagging sense that everything’s gone wrong somehow, that things were supposed to be better than this. In that way the two Ultimates will feel very different, but I think (hope) ours is true to the spirit and the ambition of the original."[13] As part of the book, Camp introduced a new version of Hawkeye, Charli Ramsey, who was Indigenous American and non-binary.[14][15] Camp went on to write the one-shot Ultimate Universe: One Year In.[16]

In October 2024, it was confirmed that he would be the writer for Absolute Martian Manhunter, a part of DC's Absolute Universe, with artist Javier Rodriguez.[17][18] In December 2024, it was announced he would be writing a new series for Image Comics, Assorted Crisis Events, with artist Eric Zawadzki.[19]

Personal life

Camp's father is Turkish and his mother is Filipina. He was born in the Phillipines, but raised in the American Midwest. He studied cell molecular biology and went to medical school.[1] He currently lives in Brooklyn with his wife and between seven and eleven chickens.[20][21]
