Delano is currently working on various projects for D.C. Comics, including 2020
VISIONS - a series of human-scale stories set in a near-future U.S.A., and is
developing projects for other publishers. He is also taking nervous steps into the
grown-up worlds of the movie and TV industries, and has managed to write two
chapters of a novel which, he optimistically estimates, should be finished around
the turn of the century.
Delano lives in rural Northamptonshire with his partner, Sue, and her three
children, Jo, James and Alex. He considers himself relatively sound in body and
mind, and has no criminal convictions.
