Biography

Roger McKenzie's first comics work was a seven-page short story titled "Ground Round" in Vampirella #50 (April 1976) published by Warren Publishing. He wrote stories for Warren's black and white magazine titles Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella from 1976–1982. He worked for DC Comics as well, creating the western character Cinnamon and several stories for the company's horror titles.

McKenzie and Frank Miller's first collaboration was on a two-page story entitled "Slowly, painfully, you dig your way from the cold, choking debris..." published in DC Comics' Weird War Tales #68 (Oct. 1978). McKenzie became the writer on Marvel Comics' Daredevil with issue #151 (March 1978), and gave the series a dark tone reminiscent of his horror writings. Miller joined McKenzie on the series starting with #158 (May 1979).

In 1979, he collaborated with artist Ernie Colón on an adaptation of Battlestar Galactica for Marvel. McKenzie wrote Captain America (1978–1980) as well. McKenzie and artist Don Perlin developed the idea of Captain America running for the office of President of the United States. Marvel originally rejected the idea but it would be used later by Roger Stern and John Byrne in Captain America #250 (October 1980). McKenzie and Perlin received credit for the idea on the letters page at Stern's insistence. McKenzie and Perlin would also receive credit in the follow-up story in What If? #26 (April 1981). McKenzie wrote several stories for the Marvel Fanfare anthology series including a two-part Iron Man vs. Doctor Octopus tale drawn by Ken Steacy.

He wrote the Star Hawks newspaper comic strip for United Feature Syndicate in 1981.

From 1984 to 1987, McKenzie wrote Sun Runners (working with artist Pat Broderick and then Glen Johnson) comics for publishers Pacific Comics, Eclipse Comics, Sirius Comics, and Amazing Comics.

From 1986 to 1988, McKenzie was involved with the independent publisher Pied Piper Comics. Along with Mark L. Hamlin, McKenzie was co-founder and co-publisher of Pied Piper, while also acting as the company's managing editor.

After a long hiatus from comics, McKenzie returned in 2015 to serve as Executive Editor of the Charlton Neo line of comics, where he wrote for The Charlton Arrow and Charlton Wild Frontier.

Since February 2015, he has been writing the Spookman weekly comic strip with Sandy Carruthers for the webcomic site Pix-C.
