Bryan Lee O'Malley (born February 21, 1979)[1] is a Canadian cartoonist, best known for the Scott Pilgrim series. He also performs as a musician under the alias Kupek.
Bryan Lee O'Malley attended St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School in London, Ontario, Canada.[2] He went on to start in Film Studies at the University of Western Ontario, but dropped out before completing.[1]
Prior to having his own material published, O'Malley illustrated the Oni Press miniseries Hopeless Savages: Ground Zero, written by Jen Van Meter. He also lettered many Oni comics, including the majority of Chynna Clugston's output between 2002 and 2005.[3]
His first original graphic novel was Lost at Sea, released by Oni Press in 2003. Lost at Sea is a coming-of-age story about a shy 18-year-old girl named Raleigh, who believes her soul was stolen by a cat, and the road trip she takes across the United States with several teens from her school that she barely knows.
From 2004 to 2010, O'Malley worked on the six-volume Scott Pilgrim series, published by Oni Press in digest size black and white books. The series was a critical and commercial success, spawning a full-color re-release, a 2010 film adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,[4] a video game adaptation, and a number of official soundtracks.
O'Malley created the cover art work for the 2012 video game Fez. In July 2014, his graphic novel Seconds was released by Ballantine Books. In mid 2016, O'Malley revealed the title of his next major graphic novel Worst World, which currently has no release date. He is also the co-creator of the ongoing comic book Snotgirl with Leslie Hung. He is officially billed as its writer.
