'Archie' artist Dan Parent draws on the Surface (pictures)
We enlisted "Archie" comic book writer and artist Dan Parent to test drive Microsoft's new Surface Pro 4 and the Surface Book hybrid computers.
Dan Ackerman
Dan Ackerman leads CNET's coverage of computers and gaming hardware. A New York native and former radio DJ, he's also a regular TV talking head and the author of "The Tetris Effect" (Hachette/PublicAffairs), a non-fiction gaming and business history book that has earned rave reviews from the New York Times, Fortune, LA Review of Books, and many other publications.
"Upends the standard Silicon Valley, Steve Jobs/Mark Zuckerberg technology-creation myth... the story shines." -- The New York Times
As an illustrator who works both on paper and in programs such as Photoshop, Parent was impressed by the feel of the Surface Pen and especially its eraser.
