Tom Hart (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tom Hart is an American comics creator best known for his Hutch Owen series of comics. Hutch Owen was originally self-published by Hart (funded with money from a 1993 Xeric grant) through Canadian publisher Black Eye Productions. Later editions, as well as later books in the series, have been published by Top Shelf Productions. TIME magazine has called Hutch Owen "A devastating satire [which] feels like a scalding hot poker cauterizing the open wound of American corporate and consumer culture."

Hutch Owen has also been distributed as daily webcomic strips, and Hart is also the editor of serializer. One of the original comics on serializer was Trunktown, a Hutch Owen spin-off drawn by Hart and written by Shaenon Garrity.
