David Campiti

David Campiti (/kæmˈpiːti/; born May 9, 1958) is an American animation producer, comic book writer, talent agent, and packager. He was deeply involved with a number of comics publishers in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including Eternity Comics, Pied Piper Comics, and his own entity, Innovation Publishing. As CEO of Glass House Graphics, Campiti oversees an international animation studio and agency of illustrators, writers, painters, and digital designers.

Campiti is the adopted son of Charles H. and Rose Campiti. He graduated from Warwood High School and West Liberty University. He began writing as a child.

Campiti sold his first writing to the Wheeling News-Register while still in college, and to such magazines as Writer's Digest and Comics Buyer's Guide soon after.

He was an on-air news reporter at WKWK radio, where he also wrote, performed, and produced humorous radio commercials. He soon moved on to WANJ-FM Radio.

In 1982, Campiti moved from his hometown of Wheeling, West Virginia, to North Attleboro, Massachusetts, where he worked as chief copywriter at the L.G. Balfour Company and, later on, as a writer for the United Way of New England.

Campiti sold comic book scripts to Pacific Comics in 1982. In 1985, Campiti wrote a short story for Action Comics #573 at DC Comics, then turned to freelance editing and comics packaging full-time.

Campiti's packager, Campiti and Associates (also known as Creative Concepts) supplied content for a number of small publishers launched during the so-called "black-and-white boom" of the mid-1980s, employing creators like Mark Beachum, Rick Bryant, Ron Lim, and David Lawrence.

Campiti first provided content for the short-lived publisher Sirius Comics (1985–1986), where he spearheaded the creation of the superhero team Hero Alliance. Early in 1986, Campiti and writer-editor Brian Marshall co-founded the comics packager TriCorp Entertainment. With private financing from Sunrise Distribution's Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, Marshall and Tony Eng formed Eternity Comics; Campiti packaged material for Eternity to publish, including Lawrence & Lim's Ex-Mutants.
