David Morris Kelly

David Morris Kelly, more commonly known as Dave Kelly, was executive editor of Heavy Metal magazine from 2024-2026, playing a key role in its epically successful relaunch. Before that, he was Production Executive for The 7th Floor, which produced The Cake Eaters starring Kristen Stewart, a film that helped her land the role in Twilight. After that, he ran So What? Press. Its flagship title, Tales of the Night Watchman-about baristas who fight monsters-was nominated for two Ringo Awards in the Best Single Issue or Story category and was the first to publish Molly Ostertag, later a series writer for Disney's The Owl House and ThunderCats Roar. Characters from that series have also appeared in Savage Dragon from Image Comics. His current project, Heart & Sin, is about a retired porn star who becomes a bodyguard to a sex robot on a dystopian Mediterranean island in the near future. He splits his time between the US and Europe and has the broken suitcase wheels to prove it.
