Writing

The Destroyer

The first Destroyer novel to which Mullaney contributed was #88: The Ultimate Death; he then went on to become the sole writer of the series for issues #111-131. When the series moved from Gold Eagle to Tor Books, he and series co-creator Warren Murphy shared coauthor credit on The Destroyer, beginning May 2007.[1] Mullaney stayed with the series until it ended its run at Tor in August 2008.

Other work

Mullaney has two series of his own. The Red Menace is an adventure series that centers on Patrick "Podge" Becket, a retired communist-fighter and secret agent from the 1950s who returns to crime-fighting in the 1970s, aided by his friend and partner Dr. Thaddeus Wainwright. The first novel, Red and Buried, was released on September 15, 2011 to mostly positive reviews.[2][1] The paperback of Red and Buried has been picked up by Moonstone Books and will be published in spring 2013.

As of autumn 2012, two more E-books in the Red Menace series have been released, Drowning In Red Ink and Red the Riot Act. It is unknown if Moonstone will make these available in bookstores as well.

Mullaney's second series surrounds the comic adventures of private investigator Crag Banyon; the first book, One Horse Open Slay was published on December 13, 2011 to positive reviews.[3][1] The second Crag Banyon Mystery, Devil May Care, was released May 2012. Mullaney has announced on his web site that the third Crag Banyon Mystery, Royal Flush, will be released in the E-book format at the end of 2012. The first two Crag Banyon Mysteries are available in paperback.

Mullaney has also worked on Iron Fist for Marvel Comics.[4]
