Career
Robert Loren Fleming worked for DC Comics initially as a proofreader and later as a writer. His first published comics story was "String-Out" in House of Mystery #316 (May 1983).[2] He and artist Trevor Von Eeden created Thriller in 1983.[3][4] Fleming left the series as of its seventh issue due to difficulties with DC Comics' management.[5]
He has frequently worked with Keith Giffen. They produced two Ambush Bug limited series in 1985 and 1986[2] and an Aquaman one-shot special and a limited series in 1989.[6] In 1991, Fleming and Giffen collaborated on a Ragman limited series.[7] The following year, the Fleming/Giffen team produced the Eclipso: The Darkness Within miniseries with artist Bart Sears.[8] The duo reunited for 2008's Ambush Bug: Year None.[2]
Fleming has worked in the animation field as well. He wrote for The Real Ghostbusters series produced by DIC Entertainment in 1986.[9]
