Former executive creative for 15 years at Lucasfilm, Rinzler wrote and directed an animated short "Riddle of the Black Cat," which was shown at numerous film festivals, including the Montreal World Film Festival. His adaptation of George Lucas's original rough draft became "The Star Wars" graphic novel and was a #1 New York Times best-seller. Born in Lakewood, New Jersey; grew up in Manhattan/NYC and Berkeley, CA, J W Rinzler fell in love with old monster films, such as Dracula and Frankenstein, as well as Robin Hood and other adventure movies. His historical-fiction novel ALL UP, a thriller about the first Space Age, from World War II to the Apollo 11 mission, will be out in July 2020. "All Up is an exceptional book that takes the reader beyond the usual descriptions of the challenges and achievements of the first Space Age, by describing the human reality behind the extraordinary efforts of intelligence and will that made it all possible. Imagine if we could meet Wernher von Braun, Jack Parsons, and Sergei Korolev, and hear them speak about their lives, their failures and hopes and their eventual successes. That is the story told in All Up, a timely contribution at the moment America is seriously considering a return to the Moon, and a valuable guide to the stunning voyages to come."—Dr. Jacques F. Vallée, computer scientist, winner of the Jules Verne Award for science-fiction “With its fascinating personalities that only Rinzler could describe, ALL UP can’t be put down.” —David Mandel, Emmy–award winning writer/executive producer, Veep & Curb Your Enthusiasm “Hang on for the jet-propelled ride of your life. You won’t want to stop till you find out how it all comes out!”—Roy Thomas, writer/editor, member Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame
