Damian Wampler Writer

Damian Wampler is a U.S. diplomat, born and raised in Delaware. He earned a B.A. in English and Anthropology from Boston University and an M.A. in Russian and Central Asian Studies from UW-Madison. Damian began his art career in photography and play writing, finding success when his play Twin Towers was accepted into New York City’s Planet Connections Theater Festival in 2009.

His short comic, “Kingdom of Ashes”, appeared in Geometry Literary Magazine in June 2019, and his second graphic novel, Monitor, will be published in spring 2020 by Broken Icon Comics.
