Joe Schenkman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joe Schenkman is an American underground cartoonist. Schenkman was part of Underground Cartooning's original wave, active in the late '60s and early '70s working alongside such cartoonists as S. Clay Wilson and Art Spiegelman and a regular contributor of full-page comics to weekly newspapers including the East Village Other (EVO).

Schenkman is primarily retired from cartooning now, though his work is still considered to be a classic of the underground comix style. Shenkman is currently head of Schenkman Books, a company known for its academic titles concerning sociology and social welfare.
