John Barber is a freelance comic book writer and former senior editor of IDW Publishing.
Before working for IDW, Barber published his own comics and also worked for Marvel, editing Wolverine comics, gaining familiarity with wrestling an erratic continuity. He then wrote all of IDW's Dark of the Moon comics, as well as three prequels to the movies to reconcile Chris Ryall, Simon Furman and Chris Mowry's stories, Alan Dean Foster's novels, the films themselves and character bios![1]
He is currently the author of the ongoing comic title The Transformers: Robots in Disguise, and was editor of RID's sister ongoing, The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye. In the process he waged a ceaseless war against continuity gaffs and errors, turning the most forgettable goofs into key plot points. He was also the co-writer of Transformers vs. G.I. Joe.
Barber was succeeded as senior editor by Denton J. Tipton, and as Hasbro Books Group Editor by Sarah Gaydos.[2]
