Lucien Black started writing in 1991, hoping to break into the comic book industry.  He paired himself with several writers and artists and helped to produce an independent comic book that was met with great reception.  However, the life of an independent comic book publisher is a rough one and without the right funding, the company eventually shut down.

Black did not give up, he spent the next several years writing comic book scripts and stories.  He submitted stories to the numerous comic book publishers in the industry, but was never given the chance to break in.

Two years ago, Lucien, with the backing and support of his wife, began re-writing his comic book scripts into short stories and thus No Vacancies, Vol. 1 was developed.

Black currently resides in Orange County, Ca with his wife and children. He is currently working on the next volume of No Vacancies.
