Born in 1950 in New Jersey but raised in East Flatbush and Brownsville, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY. His parents were separated and he was raised by his mother and adoptive father.

Before starting to work in film and television he was one of the pioneers of the graphic novel with "Stars Be My Destination" and "Empire".
