BIOGRAPHY Wright graduated from the Science Fiction show. ''Constant Payne'' was shelved due to network fears of violent programming in the wake of the September 11, 2001 Attacks . Controversy Shortly before the wrote a 2-page article extolling Wright's poster work for the The Washington Post Wright's bona fides were immediately questioned by real Rangers who contacted Leiby. A year later, when Wright learned Leiby was writing an exposé questioning his military service[http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A60120-2004May1¬Found=true he confessed and apologized online[http://www.micahwright.com/ranger.htm] that he had only ever served as an ROTC student in college. Following Wright's exposure, ,'' (already scheduled to be canceled with issue #24), was instead canceled at #23, leaving one issue unprinted by publisher DC / Wildstorm . Several fans of the series bitterly complained that killing the book without printing the final chapter punished them instead of the author. In December 2006, Seven Stories Press published a new book of remixed posters and political commentary by Wright, ''Surveillance Means Security'', which dealt with illegal domestic surveillance by the Bush Administration. Publisher Dan Simon stated that "In 2003, Micah made the mistake in characterizing his introduction as autobiographical, when it was a fictionalized account based on the experiences of others. That book and the present one were collections of art and political commentary, and the mistake he made in his introduction had no bearing on the power of his art or the usefulness of his commentary. We at that time canceled a new book that had been scheduled, and went through a demanding and difficult period of truth-telling and eventual reconciliation with Micah. Just as I do not believe in capital punishment, nor do I believe that we had a responsibility or even the right to censure Micah or to banish him indefinitely. We consider him part of our community and we consider that he and we both learned from his mistakes back then. The work in his new book is as strong as ever, and we're excited to be publishing him." In the book's Acknowledgments section, Wright wrote "Thanks to Dan Simon for recognizing that we're all human and we all make mistakes, some of us bigger mistakes than others. Thanks to Richard Leiby for helping me see the way out of my hole." BIBLIOGRAPHY/FILMOGRAPHY Videogames
