Prior to becoming a writer, King served in the CIA as an operation officer in the Counterterrorism Center. He lives in Washington DC with his wife and three children.

Dan Parent began his professional career in 1987, when he graduated from the Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphic Art. He was hired by Archie Comics as a staff artist, where he worked on comic book production, and later licensing. His first big drawing project was Veronica's first solo comic. After this, Dan went on to write, draw (and even co-edit) various Archie titles.

In 1996, Parent became a freelancer, working on titles like Cheryl Blossom, Betty & Veronica Spectacular and Archie & Friends. He also started to work on projects for other companies like Felix the Cat Productions, Marvel Comics, Mattel, Disney, Harper Collins and Golden Books. He also taught humor, design and advertising illustration at the Joe Kubert School for five years.

Today, Parent continues to work on web design, children's book illustrations, licensing art for various companies, and of course continues to work on various Archie titles.
