Joe Brusha | President

Joe Brusha was born just outside of Philadelphia, in Abington PA, and he still resides there with his wife and four children. Brusha spent his early professional career in sales selling such things like computer chips and sporting goods. While working in sales he concentrated on his true passion, writing screenplays and short stories, in his spare time. An avid comic fan as a teenager, he rediscovered the medium as an adult and realized it could provide an outlet for his creative energies. 

Teaming with his long time friend and occasional writing partner Ralph Tedesco, the two partners launched Zenescope Entertainment in 2005. Since then he has written hundreds of comic series including Grimm Fairy Tales, Neverland, Paradise Court and Man-Goat and the Bunnyman.

Favorites: Our Hoodie, Man-Goat and the Bunny Man Comic, The Van Helsing Statue and Tarot Card Game. 

 

Ralph Tedesco | Co-Founder & Head of Film/Television

Back in 2005, Ralph and Joe co-founded Zenescope in 2005. Together they co-wrote and published Zenescope’s first comic book series entitled Grimm Fairy Tales which quickly turned into a cult hit and helped launch the unknown company into a top comic book publishing house within two years of its inception. 

Ralph served as the Editor in Chief creating numerous titles until 2017 due to the demand of the TV side of the business.

Joe and Ralph serve as producers of SyFy Channel’s TV series, Van Helsing, which is inspired by Zenescope’s comic book. He hopes to continue to adapt more of their titles.

Favorites: All of it.
