Chris J. Henderson, conocido como C. J. Henderson, fue un escritor estadounidense (1951–2014) especializado en géneros como el horror, la fantasía oscura y el policial hardboiled. A lo largo de su carrera desarrolló una obra versátil que abarca novelas, relatos y cómics, destacando por la creación de personajes como Teddy London y Jack Hagee.

Su estilo se caracteriza por un tono directo, sombrío y narrativamente clásico, muy en línea con el espíritu del cómic estadounidense de finales del siglo XX.
