 PvP

Scott R. Kurtz (born March 15, 1971 Santa Cruz, California) is an American webcomic artist who created an award-winning daily online comic-strip PvP — aka Player vs. Player. He launched PvP May 4, 1998, for a gaming company. In June 1999, Kurtz retooled the strip, and re-launched it as version 2.0. The online version currently has a readership of 150,000. In March 2000, he launched a print version as a bi-monthly for Dork Storm Press.[1] After publishing the print version of PvP for 8 years through Image Comics, began self-publishing, citing a natural readership decline of the print version and an increase of the online version. His self-publishing company, Toonhound Studios LLC, is a Texas entity with operations in Seattle.
