John Stanley (comics)
John Stanley (March 22, 1914 – November 11, 1993) was an American cartoonist and comic book writer, best known for writing Little Lulu comic book stories from 1945 to 1959. While mostly known for scripting, Stanley also drew many of his stories, including the earliest issues of ''Little Lulu'' and its ''Tubby'' spinoff series. His specialty was humorous stories, both with licensed characters and those of his own creation. His writing style has been described as employing "colorful, S. J. Perelman-ish language and a decidedly bizarre, macabre wit (reminiscent of writer Roald Dahl)", with storylines that "were cohesive and tightly constructed, with nary a loose thread in the plot"."John Stanley" by Don Phelps in the 1976 New Con Program Book He has been compared to Carl Barks,Seth (2009) "John Stanley's Teen Trilogy", in Ben Schwartz, ed., ''The Best American Comics Criticism'', Fantagraphic Press, Seattle, Washington.

Chester Brown
Chester William David Brown (born 16 May 1960) is a Canadian cartoonist. Brown has gone through several stylistic and thematic periods. He gained notice in alternative comics circles in the 1980s for the surreal, scatological ''Ed the Happy Clown'' serial. After bringing ''Ed'' to an abrupt end, he delved into confessional autobiographical comics in the early 1990s and was strongly associated with fellow Toronto-based cartoonists Seth and Joe Matt, and the contemporary autobiographical comics trend. Two graphic novels came from this period: '' The Playboy'' (1992) and '' I Never Liked You'' (1994). Surprise mainstream success in the 2000s came with ''Louis Riel'' (2003), a historical-biographical graphic novel about rebel Métis leader Louis Riel. '' Paying for It'' (2011) drew controversy as a polemic in support of decriminalizing prostitution, a theme he explored further with '' Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus'' (2016), a book of adaptations of stories from the Bible that ...
