Paul Tobin wrote the Plants vs. Zombies comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics.
The comics expanded the video-game universe beyond the lawn-defense formula. They follow teenagers Nate Timely and Patrice Blazing as they help defend Neighborville from Dr. Edgar Zomboss and his zombie armies, with assistance from Crazy Dave and genetically modified plants.
The series began with Plants vs. Zombies: Lawnmageddon, initially released digitally in 2013. Dark Horse later developed it into an ongoing monthly series in print and digital formats. Artist Ron Chan provided the primary artwork, which is why his name can sometimes be mistakenly selected as the writer.
Another common mix-up involves the game's creators. George Fan designed the original video game, while Stephen Notley wrote plant and zombie descriptions for the in-game Suburban Almanac. Neither was the writer of the Dark Horse comic series.
