Dunn was born in Taiwan, and grew up in Taiwan, [3] Kentucky, and San Antonio, Texas, where he graduated from Central Catholic Marianist High School. [3] It was in Taiwan that he was first exposed to Japanese manga. [3]
In 1984 he co-founded Antarctic Press, [3] an American comic book company specializing in manga-style (Amerimanga) titles. His most notable creations for Antarctic are the comic book series Ninja High School and Warrior Nun Areala . [3]
