Ian Flynn also known by his Internet pen name
Ian Potto, is an American comic writer. He has been the chief writer for Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic since issue #160.
Flynn obtained the writing position on the comic by sending in unsolicited proposals, after a long participation in unofficial creation of comics about Sonic. He is notable for being a rare case of making a transition from active amateur to pro.
He has not only been active with the fan community since his hiring at Archie Comics

games while still retaining his favorite elements of the comic's original material.
He is currently married to Aleah Baker.
