Masterful Marks

August 29, 2014

I'm privileged to be part of this collection of graphic biographies celebrating the lives of visionary cartoonists.  It is art directed and edited by the venerable Monte Beauchamp and published by Simon & Schuster. It hits the streets September 2.

 

The contributing artists/writers are:

Marc Rosenthal (Charles Adams), Arnold Roth (Al Hirschfeld), Drew Friedman (Robert Crumb), Sergio Ruzzier (Charles Schulz), Nora Krug (Hergé), Peter Kuper (Harvey Kurtzman), Ryan Heshka (Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster), Mark Alan Stamaty (Jack Kirby), Nicolas Debon (Winsor McCay), Owen Smith (Lynd Kendall Ward), Larry Day (Walt Disney), Frank Stack (Rodolf Topffer), Gary Dumm (Hugh Hefner), Dan Zettwoch (Osamu Tezuka), Denis Kitchen (Dr. Suess), and myself (Edward Gorey).
