What is the name of the comic book writer of The Boys?

The story behind the answer

The comic book writer of The Boys is Garth Ennis.

Ennis co-created the series with artist Darick Robertson. The comic follows Billy Butcher and his team as they investigate and battle abusive superheroes, using a satirical and deliberately darker approach to the superhero genre.

The Boys began publication in 2006. It was initially released through WildStorm, a DC Comics imprint, before moving to Dynamite Entertainment. Ennis wrote the series throughout its run, while Robertson provided the defining visual designs and artwork.

A common mix-up is confusing Ennis with Eric Kripke, who developed the television adaptation, or with Robertson, who was the comic’s artist and co-creator. Ennis is also known for writing Preacher and major runs of The Punisher, but The Boys remains one of his best-known original comics.
