Sergio
Aragones
One of the
first comics I was introduced to was Sergio Aragones' "Groo
the Wanderer." I loved it then and still adore it to this
day. In my opinion, the Sergio (artist) and Mark Evanier (writer)
team is pure magic. |

Mark
Evanier
Mark compliments
Sergio like the filmy skin on drying cheese dip...only better.
Not only does he write for countless television shows (Garfield
and Friends) and magazines (The Comics Buyer's Guide), but he
is also the co-creator on many of Sergio Aragones' titles. |
Tom
Luth
Tom hails
as colorist (a heroing task) for the Groo Crew. He also puts his
computer handywork to use in many other creative nitches including
film. |

Ted
Naifeh
Ted creates
one of my favorite comics on the market right now, "Courtney
Crumrin and the Night Things." about a crumudgenly little
girl forced to live with her old uncle in his spooky house, and
that's just the tip of the banister, my deary. |
Tom
Beland
Tom won me
over with his hilarious, honest, and beautiful autobiographical
comic book entitled "True Story: Swear to God." Another
of my current faves. |

Fernando
Ruiz
Fernando is
an artist and occasional writer for veteran publisher, Archie
Comics. You can find Fernando's work every month in Archie
Mysteries and even buy his original artwork which he regularly
posts
on Ebay. |
Sara
Varon
Sara published
her comic compendium, "SweaterWeather," through Alternative
Comics. This is a testament to innovative printing that boasts
too many enjoyable surprises to list. |

Judd
Winick
This guy writes
books for one of the big two, but also does some time on the indy
circuit. "Barry Ween: Boy Genius," is a side-splitting,
laugh-out-loud, good time. ...but don't take my word for it. |
Craig
Thompson
If "Good-bye,
Chunky Rice," put Craig Thompson on the comics map, then
"Blankets," bought him the whole darn plantation. Truly
a Graphic NOVEL, to the tune of 600 pages, "Blankets"
is a must-read for the auto-biographical genre. |
