Daytona Beach biker culture inspires comic book author
Article by Rick de Yampert, Entertainment Writer at The Daytona Beach News-Journal
If a headless biker were stalking this planet, you know he'd be riding the streets of Daytona Beach, searching for sinners to harvest. The above scenario plays out in Chopper, a new horror comic book series created by former Daytona Beach resident Martin Shapiro.
As a student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach in the 1990s, Shapiro became fascinated by biker culture. He went on to serve in the U.S. Air Force, then earned a bachelor's degree in film production from the University of Central Florida. Shapiro then earned a master's degree in screenwriting from UCLA.
Now, at age 44, he is a full-time writer and producer living in Los Angeles. He recently sold the movie rights to Chopper, as well as his action-thriller screenplay Lair of the Fox.
