Adam Earl Talley was born on January 24th 1978 to Michael and Judith Talley, the youngest of 4 children. At an early age he fell in love with science fiction and superhero fiction. He first learned how to draw from a television show on PBS called "The Secret City" with Mark Kistler. There he learned the essentials of 3-D drawing.

As a child, Adam grew up overweight and was often teased by his peers about it. The only thing that singled him out was that his ability and passion in art was unmatched by his classmates. By the time he entered high school, he was writing poems and short fiction about his experiences. He longed to create worlds for people to escape the pain that is felt in this one. He met several people who drew comic book characters and decided to dwell in that artform for the rest of his days. He has released comic books in high school called "Darkness" and "Amazing Bud." Five years later while in college at Central Michigan University, he released his latest and most popular comic book, "Pleasant Hymns." He now has an online comic strip called "Zipperhead Comix" and is working on a 100 page graphic comic book novel called "Mythic Mile." He also write scripts for his fellow artists such as "The Mind of Murder" and "The Tale of Bruno." He has recently started production on a new comic property called "The Outcast," for a 2004 premiere.

He attends convetions all over the area to promote his work. Adam has been featured on MHTV, CM LIFE newspapers, Morning Sun newspapers, Mt. Pleasant Magazine, and many other forms of media in interviews and drawings. He often donates work for charities and is an avid supporter of Hospice. He is also a hardcore voting advocate, encouraging people to get involved and vote with inserts that he puts into his comics.

He currently lives in Mt. Pleasant with his wife and is pursuing his BAA degree as a 2-D Concentration Art Major and Art History Minor focusing on early civilization to Roman Empire. He has one son.
