Known in the industry as Hady A. Hamid, the aspiring comic book writer has created his own comic book universe under the label, Red Grade Comics. Since the age of 12, Hady has been marveled by a multitude of timeless classics (Spider-Man, Batman, Final Fantasy VII, Akira, Samurai X, Hellsing, Spriggan and Lord of the Rings) and has successfully channeled those inspirations into his expansive comic book universe that contains over 200 characters and close to 250 issues planned out. Over the years, friends, acquaintances, lecturers and 4 production companies have read and viewed several samples and comic panels. The reviews have all been positive. Hady utilizes his passion for writing by freelancing, mostly as a writer and editor, in the local TV industry. As of February 2009, Hady has been contracted for his first directing job for TV.

At present, Hady has completed Eras Issues #0-4, and will launch his comic book website when more issues are done. His artist and longtime friend, Muhammad Ali, is currently doing promotional images and will continue as regular artist from issue #5 onwards. Johan Manandin has left the project to focus on his personal commitments.
