Elliot S! Maggin grew up in New York and has been writing about his heroes - both real and made-up ones - all his life. He started publishing what he wrote around the age of 17. He has written several hundred comic book stories, including a 15-year run as principal writer of Superman for DC Comics. He has written journalism, novels, television and film for a profusion of publishers and producers. He wrote the novels, Superman: Last Son of Krypton in 1979, Superman: Miracle Monday in 1981 and Kingdom Come in 1997. Not My Closet is his first novel whose major characters do not fly under their own power or generally wear Spandex. He was educated at Brandeis and Columbia Universities. He is the father of two spectacularly capable adult children and he lives in Los Angeles.
