Thom Zahler

Thomas F. Zahler is a cartoonist, writer, caricaturist, and graphic designer based in northeast Ohio. He is a graduate of Lake Catholic High School and of the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. 
He has written and drawn two comic series: "", the comic book romantic comedy about a Superman-type hero and his girlfriend, and "", an action-adventure spy series, in the vein of Alias and Pretender.
His collaboration with Bob Ingersoll, "'Til Death" in The Sky's the Limit, was his first published Star Trek story. In , he wrote a story for the comic anthology Star Trek: Waypoint Special 2019.
DS9 is his favorite series. He commented: "...Deep Space Nine is my favorite Star Trek. I think it was some of the best storytelling, some of the most complicated stories, some of the best characters, most of the best acting. Not that there aren’t brilliant people acting on the other Star Trek shows, but the ensemble of Deep Space Nine was just magnetic. I also think that it benefited from being the show that no one was paying attention to, and that allowed them to do things that the other Star Treks weren’t allowed to do. It is the only Star Trek that has Humans as bad guys in the 24th Century. Apparently, that was a Roddenberry thing that he felt that Humans would evolve to a point where they were beyond petty differences. As I understand it, the writers would have to figure out way to write around those problems, and that is why you have the Maquis joining Starfleet, because that is where the irritation is supposed to come from. Deep Space Nine had the most robust universe".
