One of the most widely-read indy comix creators, Backderf grew up in a rural, small town in Ohio, an experience that was the inspiration for his graphic novels TRASHED, PUNK ROCK & TRAILER PARKS and the international bestseller, MY FRIEND DAHMER. An art school dropout, Derf (by which monicker he is most widely known) worked on a garbage truck before deciding to give cartooning a try. He attended Ohio State University on a journalism scholarship, where he drew political cartoons for the school paper for three years and caused such controversy school officials put a 1-year limit on all future cartoonists. After graduation, he landed a similar position on a paper in South Florida but was fired after two years for, as the editor put it, "general tastelessness." He moved to Cleveland and THE CITY comic strip debuted in the now-defunct Cleveland Edition in 1990. A year later, he began selling it to other alternative papers. The strip has appeared in over 140 publications during it's 20-plus years, including The Village Voice, Chicago Reader and The Los Angeles Reader. Derf's images have also graced t-shirts and cd covers. His manic illustrations have appeared in all manner of publications, ranging from Guitar Player magazine to the Wall St. Journal. His work has been displayed in museums and galleries worldwide. He has been nominated for two Eisner Awards (the Oscars of comix), as well as Harvey, Ignatz and Rueben Awards. He was the recipient of a pretigious Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2006.

Her trademark creation is DiDi Glitz. Both she and Bill Griffith also contributed work to the critically acclaimed and historically significant comics anthologies Arcade, Weirdo and Young Lust, among others. Somewhere along the way Griffith and Noomin met and married, but they never stopped making comics, and continue to do so today.

Born in Hoboken, New Jersey (that’s not a joke) Kaz studied cartooning in New York City with Art Spiegelman and Harvey Kurtzman. After contributing comics to many publications (including Raw, Weirdo, Details, and Screw) he launched his weekly alternative newspaper comic strip, Underworld in 1992 (for which he won France’s Hergé Award). In 2001, Kaz began writing on Nicklodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon show. Since then he’s written for Cartoon Network’s Camp Lazlo (for which he won an Emmy) and Disney’s Phineas and Ferb (nominated for an Emmy). Coming full circle, Kaz has rejoined the crew of SpongeBob and is currently on the writing staff knocking out new episodes. Oh, and he still draws Underworld weekly (read them HERE)!

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.

A founding member of Closed Caption Comics, the loose knit group of comics makers that came out of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in the early 00s, Stechschulte has gone on to produce a number of well received self-published risograph editions as well as a graphic novel for Fantagraphics – The Amateurs – and now Breakdown Press of the UK has just released the second, massive, risograph serializing his latest work, Generous Bosom. Stechschulte heads off the beaten path when creating his comics, which often take place in rural or semi-rural settings. They focus on exactly those sort of people and scenarios that you won’t find depicted elsewhere; isolated people in locales you’ve never heard of getting themselves caught up in goings on that are not what you'd expect nor what they might at first seem...

My work stems from a personal need to see myself and others represented positively in a fun and engaging way.
