Bio from The Official Mutant X Site: Chaykin, who has worked in every facet of the comic book field for 20 years, has written and/or illustrated many of the major hits of the comic book industry, including Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Conan and Indiana Jones. Among his original comic book creations are DC Comics' The Iron Wolf, The Scorpion for Atlas Comics, Marvel Comics' Midnight Men and Dominic Fortune, Vertigo's Pulp Fantastic, and Cody Starbuck and Gideon Faust for Heavy Metal. Additionally, Chaykin has served as a writer and/or producer on a number of television series, including Tribune Entertainment's weekly action hour "Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict," currently in its fourth season, "The Flash" and "Viper."

Said Mr. Askin, "Howard has been a preeminent force, working on some of the world's most successful comics. We are delighted to have him join our team as we prepare to begin production on 'Mutant X.' His extensive background and talent as a writer, illustrator and producer in the comic book field and television is unparalleled, making him the ideal choice to bring a fresh view in adapting 'Mutant X' for television."
