Gumby BIOS!

After graduating with a degree in journalism, Bob Burden decided to take the road less traveled and become a comic book creator. First down the track was an offbeat superhero with a feisty line in dialogue that saw print in the anthology title Visions. Having steered that cult classic, Flaming Carrot, through various companies over many years it is now one of the longest running independent comics still being published From several supporting series one such lead to the concept that became the 1999 Universal movie Mystery Men.
He has written fiction for short story collections, scripted Cholly and Flytrap for Marvel's Epic imprint and reprised his earlier Robot Comics as Robot Crime for the 20th anniversary of a Heavy Metal magazine.
Among several awards Bob Burden has won is an Eisner as the writer of Gumby's Summer Fun Special, a character he returns to in the ongoing Gumby Comics.

Cartoonist, illustrator, graphic novelist, and just a normal guy who writes and draws comics, Rick Geary is all these things and more.

Since the nineteen-seventies a diverse range of popular and influential publications have found room to publish his work. Besides magazines like The National Lampoon, Mad, Rolling Stone and Heavy Metal you can add various newspapers, educational book publishers and entertainment comics publishers.

Internationally Geary's A Treasury of Victorian Murder graphic novel series finds favor in bookstores and libraries alike. From Aliens spin-offs for Dark Horse to work on Disney Adventures, he can tick the box.

At the heart of Rick Geary's creativity is a not inconsiderable knack to make the commonplace look extraordinary and the outrageous appear perfectly in character. This makes him a perfect artist for Gumby Comics.

Contrasting tonally and paying respect to light and shade in new innovative ways Steve Oliff became a master at hand coloring for all the major comics companies on countless top selling titles. He then became a pioneer in the digital computer coloring field, establishing his own company, Olyoptics to take on the growing demand for his work.

Latterly, he has focussed his attentions on teaching a new generation of colorists, so the fact that he has chosen to return to work in the field on Gumby Comics is of immense pleasure to all.
