- J. P. Morgan (cartoonist)
J. P. Morgan (born 1957) is an American cartoonist.
Early life and education
Morgan started drawing in second grade, impressing his teachers with elaborate drawings of Frankenstein monsters. In high school, he became a fan of Warner Bros. classic cartoons, " Rat Fink" creatures and hot rods, and made some sales to Hot Rod Cartoons, followed by CARtoons (with some longer comic stories). After graduating, Morgan attended Parsons School of Design for three years.
Career
After graduation, he continued to write and draw comics. He also became active in the privately published mini-comics scene of the 1980s, publishing a number of issues of Fudgong Funnies. Morgan came up with the character Fission Chicken and went on to create numerous FC stories for Critters, a monthly comics anthology, which led in turn to Fission Chicken's own title.
Morgan continues to write and draw the adventures of the Chicken of Wrath, with featured appearances from a number of publishers, and on the character's own webcomic site.
Influences
Science fiction, horror, and fantasy movies influence Morgan's work. Morgan cites Gilbert Shelton, Gahan Wilson, and B. Kliban as artistic influences. His favorite authors include Philip K. Dick, Roger Zelazny, and Raymond Chandler.
Personal life
Morgan is a long-time resident of New Jersey.
