The 2007 Rave Awards

Tim Kring has never been much into comicbooks. As a kid growing up in Santa Maria, California, he was more into running track and playing acoustic guitar. "The idea of the dialog bubbles always bothered me," he says. (That's a major tip-off—a true comics fan knows those things are called speech balloons.) As an adult, Kring found success as a writer and creator of mainstream TV dramas—Chicago Hope and Providence in the 1990s, Crossing Jordan in 2001. His only brush with geekdom was when, at the age of 24, he sold his first script to the so-lame-it's-cool show Knight Rider.
