List of comic creators
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of comic creators. Although comics have different formats, this list mainly focuses on comic book and graphic novel creators. However, some creators of comic strips are also found here, as are some of the early innovators of the artform.
The list is sorted by the country of origin of the authors, although they may have published, or now be resident in other countries.
