BRENT ANDERSON
Brent Anderson was born in San Jose, California. His favorite comics were Archie, Stumbo the Giant, Hot Stuff, and Dennis the Menace. Inspired by Marvel and DC Comics almost fifty years ago, he began writing and drawing his own comics on school binder paper, creating dozens of characters that included Radium the Robot, Benji the Barbarian and Spaceman Grimmley.
He became a professional in 1979. Ka-zar the Savage was his first regular series, followed by the Marvel Graphic Novel "X-Men "God Loves, Man Kills," (1982) the innovative cinematic comic, Somerset Holmes (1984); the heroic space-opera, Strikeforce: Morituri (1987) and the award-winning Astro City (1995 to present.)
He is currently working on 'El Jaguár: Origins' in collaboration with his wife Shirley Johnston.
"Creating comics characters and telling stories about them is fun but challenging.
Each character is a part of who I am as a person, and the most challenging aspect of
character creation is the ability to honestly tap into a particular personality trait
that defines them. As I get to know each character and they become more real, I
develop a deep affection for them. At the end of a story or series, when it's time to
say "good-bye" it is often a painful experience. Illustrating a story like 'El Jaguár:
Origins' that is outside my cultural experience is even more fun and doubly
challenging; finding a piece of myself to impart to a horrid water demon from
South Central Mexico has been particularly challenging!"
