Early life
Robert Venditti was born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, and Pembroke Pines, Florida. Though he says he always wanted to be a prose writer, he rarely read comics as a child, but would peruse the comics at the barber shop.[2]
He later moved to
Creative Writing. In about 2000, while working at Borders, a coworker recommended comics books as reading material to him. Though the skeptical Venditti initially thought of comics as solely for children, his reading of Kurt Busiek's Astro City impressed him enough to decide to change his career aspirations from prose to comics.[2]
Career
In 2002 Venditti attended a convention and met
feature film adaptation of the first miniseries, starring Bruce Willis
.
In May 2012 Venditti began writing the Valiant Entertainment.[4] Venditti began his first work for DC Comics when he took over from Paul Cornell on Demon Knights beginning with issue #16, and took over Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps in June 2013.[5][6]
Personal life
As of 2008, Venditti lives in
Atlanta, Georgia.[2]
