OZZY OSBOURNE Comic-Book Biographer Among Top Guests At Birmingham Comics Show

October 16, 2010

Mike Carey, a British writer of comic books, novels and films who wrote several independent comic book series featuring Ozzy Osbourne and PANTERA before writing Lucifer for Vertigo Comics, told the Birmingham Mail that Ozzy helped him to kickstart his career.

Mike said: "I did Ozzy and PANTERA, not because I was particularly into heavy metal, but that was what they were doing and the opening was there.

"With the Ozzy book I got a lot of help and support. Sharon Osbourne put me in touch with a guy who was one of Ozzy's number one fans, who'd been keeping scrapbooks of articles about him ever since the start of his career. It was a cool experience."

Carey will appear at the British International Comic Show at Millennium Point in Birmingham, England this weekend (October 16-17).
