Shaky Kane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael.S.Kane is a writer and psychedelic artist who best known for his work as a comic and graphic artist under the pseudonym Shaky Kane, as well as Shaky 2000. As Michael Waspman he is writing a novel called Charlotte.

After working for independent comics and magazines like Deadline in the 1980s, Kane moved to the mainstream with work on 2000 AD and its sister title, the Judge Dredd Megazine in the 1990s. With editor David Bishop, he created the Soul Sisters, and he also contributed to the Judge Dredd strip, among others.

Kane's style has extensive, playful debts to Silver Age American comic books (especially the style of Jack Kirby), with a psychedelic twist.

Kane now writes, draws and publishes his own comics.
