Artist Links
This is a document in progress. If you have a comics
artist-dediciated site I would be happy to include it as this
aspect of this site develops. E-mail: jfreeman@avaterra.com. Thanks
for your information!
Exhibitions and
Collections
The Cartoon Art Trust: Go
There is a large collection of comics as part of the Victoria & Albert museum collection: Go
Lettering
Resources: You can draw as much as you want, but without words
it ain't what I call a comic strip. (Well, OK, there are some
exceptions to this). For the very best in comic book fonts I
thoroughly recommend ComicBookFonts.com. This is partly because it
is an excellent online resource and partly because without that
company's president, Richard Starkings, I would probably not be
sitting here writing this.
Sergio Aragones

Creator of Groo and major MAD contributor.
J.K. Benton Design

Graham
Bleathman

Eddie Campbell
Web: http://www.eddiecampbellcomics.com
In their own words: "Features up-to-date news on the publications
of the company, the activities of the publisher, and the
public houses that he favours, CampbellCom (as we like to
call it) is your one-stop shop for Eddie Campbell news.
And if a corporate supermarket opens up down the road temporarily
undercutting our own value-packed information services,
we'll be pleased to direct you to their premises with a
terse notice on the door."
Eddie Campbell's website also has new info on the From
Hell movie.
October 2000: In a new release on his site, the From
Hell artist Eddie Campbell announced that Australian Customs
has barred the acclaimed comic from further importation
into the country.

Nelson Castillo
Web: http://www.nelsoncomics.com/
Nelson Castillo is a Chilean artist whose works include
KURT, The Master of Temple, a novel set in a very peculiar
future (the Era of Capricorn) and past. He has also ventured
in other graphic styles, such as clear line and superheroes
drawing, but always returning to his own realist style,
which he claims Ôsuits him betterÕ. He has participated
in a couple of exhibitions in Chile and abroad. His work
interrupted by constant travelling. He finally settled in
Dominican Republic.
Gene Colan
Web: http://www.genecolan.com/
Colan's work on Daredevil and Night Force remain
firmly stuck in my memory.
Michael T.
Collins
Web: http://www.freakhousegraphics.co.uk
Mike's work includes many Dungeons and Dragons issues for DC,
Doctor Who -- oh, TONS of stuff. And he writes too, the talented
swine.
Howard
Cruse
Web: http://www.howardcruse.com/
The cyberlair of Howard Cruse, a dewy-eyed preacher's kid from
Alabama forced by fate and raw ambition to claw his way
indecorously through the muck and mire of New York City's
pulse-stoppingly brutal cartooning demi-monde.
In other words, it's a self-promotion gimmick, a venture into
hobbyism, a vehicle for random bursts of creativity, and a way to
say hi to people who've read Wendel, Barefootz, Stuck Rubber Baby,
and my other work over the years.
Bob
Eggleton
Web: http://www.bobeggleton.com/
Bob Eggleton is a successful science fiction, fantasy and
landscape artist. Winner of five Hugo Awards and 10 Chesley Awards,

occasions, co-creator of Sancho Panzer with Dan Abnett and
responsible for an outrageously intense homage to Kevin O'Neil with
his recent Nemesis the Warlock Book 10.

Flint doesn't yet have a dedicated web site but he did create
artwork to 'Harry Heston' on the Class Of '79 website. Follow the

Paul Gulacy

This superb artist's official web site, designed by a French
fan.
Mark
Harrison
Web: http://www.cybergoth.net/cybergoth/mausoleum/
Mark's stunning painted art can be found in the pages of 2000AD,
although he was one of Paul Neary's 'finds' at Marvel UK: sadly,
his Warheads strip never saw the light of day as far as I'm aware.
2000AD strips include the Glimmer Rats, written by Gordon
Rennie.
Fellow artists Simon Fraser describes him as "a leading light in
the the current migration of comics art from traditional media to computer
based creation methods. His 'Durham Red the Scarlet Cantos'(
written by Dan Abnett ) is a must see for anyone even remotely
interested in the possibilites of computer generated
artwork.

Yungbluth
E-mail:DeepFriedComic@aol.com
Creator of Deep Fried!"My vessel for spewing all the weird crap
that comes into my head," he told Paul Dale Roberts, Publisher, Jazma Universe
Online! "It has no other function than that, and provides no
benefit at all to society. Primarily it is the home for "Beepo and
Roadkill," a comic strip that I have developed and redeveloped
since I was 12.
Readers: Let your dreams die, or else be prepared to become a 28
year old hack who 's still trying to turn a buck on something he
concocted as a rip off of "Garfield". Besides being used to inflict
"Beepo and Roadkill" on the world, it is also home to miscellaneous
other strips and characters I've come up with.
"Basically I just want to make people laugh, but to make the
laughs as unexpected as possible.
The site features Flash animations, a weekly Beepo and Roadkill
strip "and other craperoo that I am just so gosh darn proud
of!"
