Career

Dezago began his comics writing career on X-Factor for Marvel Comics in 1994. He first worked with penciller Mike Wieringo on The Sensational Spider-Man #8 (Sept. 1996). They then collaborated on the creator-owned fantasy series Tellos in 1999. The series, a coming-of-age adventure set in a magical, piratical world, ran 10 issues (May 1999–Nov. 2000). The last three issues were released by Gorilla Comics, a short-lived Image Comics imprint co-founded by Dezago and several other creators in 2000. Following the demise of Gorilla Comics, Dezago and Tellos returned to Image Comics with the oversized one-shots Tellos: Maiden Voyage #1 (2001), The Last Heist (2001), and Sons and Moons (2002). They were followed by the three-issue miniseries Tales of Tellos in 2004.

At DC Comics, Dezago co-created Young Justice with artist Todd Nauck in the 1998 one-shot Young Justice: The Secret. His other Young Justice work includes the 1998 miniseries JLA: World Without Grown-ups. From 1999 to 2002, he wrote Impulse #50–89. In 2005 he co-created The Perhapanauts with artist Craig Rousseau.
