Martin Wagner (artist)
Martin Wagner (born April 27, 1966) is an American artist, cartoonist, and filmmaker. Career Comics While a student at the University of Texas at Austin, Wagner began '' Hepcats'' as a comic strip in the college newspaper ''The Daily Texan'' in 1987. Starting in 1989, he self-published it as a black-and-white comic book series and it gained more exposure with the assistance of Dave Sim, who allowed Wagner to submit a page to his bi-weekly reprints of ''Cerebus''. To help support the comics financially, Wagner also offered sketches to fans who sent him cash in the mail. Although the series received critical praise, the combination of poor sales, Wagner's lack of business experience, and his divorce in 1991 contributed to financial difficulties. Along with Jeff Smith (''Bone''), Colleen Doran (''A Distant Soil''), James Owen (''Starchild''), Larry Marder (''Beanworld'') and Sim, Wagner was one of the prominent self-publishers of the 1990s, but a hectic schedule eventually led hi ...

Hepcats
''Hepcats'' is a comic book series self-published in the 1990s by cartoonist Martin Wagner.

Publication history The series began as a comic strip in ''The Daily Texan'', the student newspaper of the University of Texas at Austin, in 1987. Each installment was typically four panels (but with frequent variation), usually with a comedic gag at the end, but with ongoing storylines. In 1989, inspired by cartoonists such as Dave Sim who were successfully self-publishing their comics, Wagner began publishing ''Hepcats'' as a black-and-white comic book series, under his own Double Diamond Press imprint. In this format, the series took on the highly detailed pen-and-ink artwork that would become one of its distinguishing features. Wagner immediately began experimenting with page layouts, including turning the pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there no deities. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists.
