Gary Panter

Gary Panter (born December 1, 1950) is an American cartoonist, illustrator, painter, designer and part-time musician. Panter's work is representative of the post-underground, new wave comics movement that began with the end of ''Arcade: The Comics Revue'' and the initiation of ''RAW'', one of the main instigators of American alternative comics. ''The Comics Journal'' has called Panter the "Greatest Living Cartoonist."

Panter has published his work in various magazines and newspapers, including ''Time'' and ''Rolling Stone'', and in notable comics anthologies such as ''Raw'', ''BLAB!'', ''Zero Zero'', ''Anarchy Comics'', ''Weirdo'', ''Kramers Ergot'', and ''Young Lust''. He has exhibited widely, and won two Daytime Emmy Awards for his set designs for ''Pee-wee's Playhouse.'' His most notable works include ''Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise'', ''Jimbo's Inferno'', and ''Facetasm'', the latter of which was created together with Charles Burns (and which won a Firecracker Alternative Book Award).
