Evan Dorkin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Evan Dorkin is an American comics artist and writer.

His most well-known works are the comic books Milk and Cheese and Dork. His comics often poke fun at fandom, even while making it clear that Dorkin is a fan himself.

As well as his comics work, Dorkin has also written for animation including (with his wife Sarah Dyer, also a comics writer/artist) Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. He also wrote and produced an animated television pilot, Welcome to Eltingville, based on his own characters. Evan and Sarah also wrote some episodes of the Superman animated series, particularly the episode "Live Wire" which introduced a new character of the same name.

He has been the recipient of several Eisner Awards, including 2002's Best Writer/Artist: Humor.
