Tom Mason (Malibu Comics)
Tom Mason is a comics industry veteran and a key figure in the rise of Malibu Comics. As one of the company’s founders, he played a pivotal role in launching the creator-owned imprint Bravura and co-founding the Ultraverse line. His creator-owned series Dinosaurs For Hire—a wild, action-packed comic about gun-toting, wisecracking dinosaurs working for the government—left a lasting impression on readers.
Beyond comics, Tom has had an extensive career in television, writing and story-editing alongside fellow Malibu alum Dan Danko. Together, they’ve contributed to over 500 episodes of animated TV—and even earned an Emmy along the way. He also co-writes the Captain Awesome book series under the pseudonym Stan Kirby and serves as a consultant for Space Goat Productions.
