Evan Dorkin is the Harvey, Eisner and Ignatz-award winning creator of Milk and Cheese, Dork, and Hectic Planet, released sporadically, if at all, through SLG Publishing. He’s also put time in at Marvel (Bill and Ted’s Excellent Comic, Agent X, The Thing: Night Falls on Yancy Street), Dark Horse (Hellboy: Weird Tales, Predator, The Mask) and DC (Superman and Batman: World’s Funnest, Bizarro Comics, Superman Adventures), among other comic book publishers, most of whom are out of business. His comics and illustration work has appeared in Esquire, Spin, The Onion and Nickelodeon Magazine (R.I.P), as well as two books, Generation Ecch and the acclaimed novel, I Love You, Beth Cooper. Along with his wife/frequent collaborator Sarah Dyer, he’s written for Space Ghost Coast To Coast, Superman, Batman Beyond and the Shin-Chan animated series. He was the creator of theWelcome to Eltingville animated pilot, based on his award-winning Eltingville Club strips from Dork, which aired on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim block and failed miserably. More recently he and Sarah have written and done animation/costume design for the popular children’s television showYo Gabba Gabba!
