Vito Delsante was born in 1973 in Staten Island, New York, United States. He attended high school in Ford City, Pennsylvania, and the University of Pittsburgh. He now resides in Brooklyn, New York.
Delsante worked for the Canadian comics company Speakeasy Comics in a Public Relations capacity prior to their closing doors in the Spring of 2006, and was seen by some as the only public face in the company's final days. He was also a creator at Speakeasy, with part one of the six part series Fallout with Dean Haspiel printed as a back-up to Beowulf #7 before the series was cancelled as a result of the publisher's closing. With the closing of the publisher, the future for Fallout is uncertain.
His first major creator-owned title, The Mercury Chronicles with artist Mike Lilly, has been rumored for publication in 2007.
In March 2006, he began a weekly column called Random Shuffle on Comicon's comics news website The Pulse [1]. He is also a manager at one of New York's biggest comic stores, Jim Hanley's Universe.
In August 2006 The Chemistry Set, a webcomics collective of which Delsante is a member, launched. He produces the comic Stuck with Thomas Williams and is currently writing FCHS, a "semi-autobiographical look" at his high school days, with artist Rachel Freire [2].
In 2007, Delsante was slated to write a three-issue JSA Classified arc with artist Eric Wight.[3] He has written a graphic novel for Simon & Schuster based on the childhood of Albert Einstein. The book, Before They Were Famous, is due out in July 2008 [4].
