Colden's career began in 2003, writing and illustrating short horror/humor stories for
House of Twelve,
Asylum Press and
Media-Blasters. In 2006, he co-founded
The Chemistry Set webcomic collective, where he created the horror comic
Todt Hill with writer
Neil Kleid. That year, he began illustrating covers for Sequart Research & Literacy Organization's non-fiction books. In 2007, Colden's
graphic novel Fishtown, based on the
Murder of Jason Sweeney, was awarded a
Xeric Grant, but he declined the money in order to serialize the book with the
ACT-I-VATE webcomics collective. It was published in print by
IDW Publishing in Fall 2008 and was nominated for a 2009
Eisner Award in the category of Best Reality-Based Work. In December 2008, his webcomic
I Rule the Night began on
Zuda Comics. It was moved to the DC Comics digital app in 2010. In 2012, Colden teamed with novelist and screenwriter
John Shirley to create the first new comic book update of James O'Barr's The Crow in thirteen years, entitled The Crow: Death and Rebirth. ==Bibliography==
