Gourt Home::Gourt :: Alan Kupperberg
Alan Kupperberg is a comic artist known for working in both comic books and newspaper strips.
Also occasionally working as a writer, he created the successful one-shot comic, Obnoxio the Clown vs. The X-Men as a one-man band handling everything from writing and illustrating to lettering, unusual for the comic industry at that time.
Known for a more "cartoony" style than many other superhero artists employed, he seemed to specialize in nasty clowns for a while, illustrating not only Marvel's "Obnoxio" pieces but also National Lampoon's "The Evil Clown".
His newspaper work includes The Incredible Hulk, Howard the Duck and Annie.
Kupperberg has recently produced some nostalgic pieces drawn from his own life and experiences in the comics industry, which have been acclaimed by insiders as accurate and affecting.
Kupperberg's brother, Paul Kupperberg, also works in the comic book field as a writer, editor and executive. Interestingly, Paul Kupperberg has worked primarily at DC Comics, while Alan's comic book work has been primarily for rival Marvel Comics.
Kupperberg also has an extensive video archive and is known as an expert on TV history, particularly the history of TV comedy.
