He has worked for over 30 years as a graphic designer, art director, cartoonist and illustrator. He still enjoys using non-repro blue pencils, brush, India ink and paper when making comics.

He's been watching the skies for UFOs since he was wonder-struck boy and looks forward to his first sighting. Larry Hancock was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1954. He graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Mathematics and since then has toiled in Toronto as a Chartered Accountant.

He enjoys reading mysteries, science fiction and comic books (as if you could not guess!). Review Quotes : "Like the greatest episodes of The Twilight Zone , The Silent Invasion mashes together the earthbound fears of a particular time with a threat from the outside to make an argument about the world around us" --William Kulesa, nj.com/ Jersey Journal Review Quotes : ""A dark tale blend of intrigue, sci-fi, and hard-boiled noir, The Silent Invasion: Red Shadows is riveting to the last page and highly recommended." -- Midwest Book Review Review Quotes : "This reissue of a cult classic sci-fi mystery that touches upon deep state conspiracies and fake news remains incredibly relevant." --Ann Foster, School Library Journal Publisher Marketing : In this era of fake news and "deep state," this couldn't be more timely! The paranoid cult-classic science fiction mystery series from the early days of indie comics returns! Set against the background of a nightmarish 1950s crawling with communist spies, corrupt FBI agents, McCarthyites, Stalinists, cold warriors, flying saucers, and mysterious government organizations, The Silent Invasion weaves a byzantine tale of mystery and deceit, as a bewildered investigative reporter, Matt Sinkage, pursues the truth behind an apparent alien invasion that points to involvement at the highest levels of American government officials. The series will begin with two books reprinting the original volumes, followed by the newly collected third album and concluding with a brand new fourth book.
