Noah Van Sciver
Working in the tradition, founded by R. Crumb, of keenly observed, highly personal comics that turn inward as often as outward, Van Sciver is a prolific comics maker who is currently the Resident Fellow at the Center for Cartoon Studies. The last twelve months have seen him release two original graphic novels – Saint Cole and Fante Bukowski, both published by Fantagraphics – a stand-alone autobio comic book, My First Date, a collection of humor comics, Cheer Up, a diary comic, I Don’t Hate Your Guts, and the latest issue of his ongoing one-man anthology comic book series, Blammo; plus numerous contributions to other publications.
