Dolan has been reading comics books as far back as 1st grade when his uncle would give him damaged comics from his distribution plant for him to read. His first comics were Uncanny X-men #166 and Adventures of Superman #453 which he still owns to this day. In high school, he was in the advanced art classes, art club, and the creative writing club. Since then, he’s been writing comic books in local competitions, collecting comics, and critiquing them on a weekly basis. In 2021, Merc Magazine gave Dolan his first professional writing opportunity with Born of Blood, and he wants to ensure he leaves a lasting impression upon his readers.
