Biography:
John Kovalic's creations include the multi-award-winning comic Dork Tower, as well as Dr. Blink: Superhero Shrink, Snapdragons, and many other features. His work has appeared everywhere from the New York Times and Rolling Stone to Dragon Magazine.
John is co-founder and co-owner of Out of the Box Games, and is a frequent contributor to the madness that is Steve Jackson Games. John has illustrated nearly 3,000 cards for the Munchkin game alone, which must be some kind of record somewhere...
John has illustrated more than 100 games and supplements, and is also responsible for toys such as My Little Cthulhu and Mythos Buddies. John was inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design Hall of Fame in July 2003, the first cartoonist to receive such an honor.
John calls Madison home. It never calls back.
