Creepy’s Fan Club: Profile: Richard Corben (pg 54)

[a B&W photo]
Richard Corben at work in his Kansas City, Mo. study.

Artist Richard Corben, whose work appears on the inside front cover of this issue (see “The Golden Sun Dink, p. 2 –ed.) last illustrated “A Tangible Hatred” in CREEPY #41.

A long time ago, a creature came to earth with a strange intent. The result: Richard Corben, self-styled producer of fantasy movies, cartoon strips and paintings. Attracted to CREEPY magazine, he excitedly sent in samples of his work. The artist was encouraged and he turned to the world of comic book fanzines for experience. The years which followed were filled with getting married and working for an industrial/educational film company. Finally, a strip and cover were accepted by Warren publishing. With payment for his efforts, the cartoonist then demonstrated that a fool and his money are soon parted by publishing his own fanzine, FANTAGOR. Corben is now content to let publishers do the publishing while he concentrates on art, stories and films. Deep in the cavernous raches of what passes for a mind, lurks a nagging thought, “Will I lose as much money, as fast, producing a film short as I lost with FANTAGOR?” After some thought, he finds that he can probably lose a bit more money and a lot faster in movies so he corrently planning his first production.
