David Barnett

David Barnett was an early Jenny Everywhere comic writer. He wrote My Bloody Valentine and The Death of Jenny Everywhere. His self-written bio was given on queergranny.com as follows:

David Barnett ("Sax" if you waste valuable hours hanging around www.barbelith.com) was always told that those years reading comics instead of learning the periodic table of the elements was a mistake. Oh, how wrong you were, Dad. Are you reading? Are you? In his secret identity, David is a mild-mannered newspaper journalist with a string of awards which were formerly on his wall but had to be taken down to make way for a bookshelf to hold his out-of-control Beat Generation literature collection. He is married with one freshly-minted young baby and is curator to two cats, Kali and Shiva. David is the charismatic front-man with spiky rock five-piece Choppersquad, and says the most frightening experience in his life was running the bulls in the St Fermin festival in Pamplona. He has written two novels and is compiling a list of all the agents and fiction editors who have rejected him, which will no doubt be put to nefarious uses. The only autographs he owns are Kenny Baker aka R2D2, Peter Wyngarde, Alan Moore and Phil and Paul Hartnoll, aka Orbital. He is originally from Wigan, so watch yourself.

He went on to become a reasonably prolific published author and journalist, continuing to write novels into the 2020s.

In 2008, he looked back on the early years of Jenny Everywhere in an article in The Guardian.
