Ukrainian-Canadian author Michael Cherkas was born in Oshawa, Ontario. He has worked for over 30 years as a graphic designer, art director, cartoonist and illustrator. He still enjoys using non-repro blue pencils, brush, India ink and paper when making comics. His comics include The Silent Invasion (with Larry Hancock), Suburban Nightmares (with Larry Hancock and John van Bruggen), The Purple Ray (with Larry Hancock) and The New Frontier (with John Sabli´c). His latest graphic novel is Red Harvest from NBM Publishing.

In 2024, Michael Cherkas with Larry Hancock were nominated for an Eisner Award in the category of Best Short Story for “Talking to a Hill”. Although they didn’t win that award, the anthology, Comics for Ukraine, in which the short story was published, did win the 2024 Eisner Award for Best Anthology. Edited by Scott Dunbier, the Comics for Ukraine anthology featured more than three dozen comic-book writers, artists, colorists, letterers, designers, and editors, including Michael Cherkas, with a collection of all-new comic-book stories to raise money to aid refugees in Ukraine.
